I'm pretty sure I didn't spot the House Martin rump, so at least that narrows it down a little.Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563829359798085564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-3741805501455649502013-04-09T21:25:20.554+01:002013-04-09T21:25:20.554+01:00Both House Martins and Sand Martins have been seen...Both House Martins and Sand Martins have been seen in London recently.

I spotted a hirundine gambolling over the water at the north end of Long Water, but didn't get a good enough look to tell whether it was a Martin or Swallow - my ID skills aren't great!
