	E-Learning "The Swallow"
		Its scientific name is Hirundo rustica and, as the second part of this name suggests, it is indeed a "rustic" bird, shuning towns and preferring to live in the country.
		Its relative the house martin, on the contrary, is an urban species and in fact is called Delichon urbica.
		The name Hirundo rustica was invented, five hundred years before Linnaeus, by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, a man of great culture remembered, among other things, as the author of the first real treatise on ornithology.

		Hi John J, Although I have never seen Crag Martin,I think that you have no problems here,they seem to be Crag Martins.In particular,note the contrast between the darker underwing coverts and the rest of the underwing and the lack of a breastband(as on Sand Martin)
		The problem is that I have seen hundreds of Crag Martins and I doubted very much if these two birds were Crag Martins.
		I have encountered Crag Martins many times, in fact I saw a few not long after watching these two birds but in a different location.

	Riparia riparia
		The Sand Martin is the smallest, most lightly built, member of the martin family and the only one which doesn't build a nest.
		In Britain they are easily identified because they are the only martins which look brown in flight rather than fl.
		In south-western Europe they also have to be distinguished from Crag Martins which are also generally brown, but much chunkier and lack the diagnostic brown breast band of northern Sand Martins.
