Welcome Swallow Hirundo neoxena
The Barn Swallow, Hirundo rustica, is an uncommon visitor to parts of northern Australia. It can be distinguished from the Welcome Swallow by its black breast band and white underparts. Other swallow species include the White-backed Swallow, Cheramoeca leucosternnus, which has a white back and grey white head, and the Red-rumped Swallow, H. daurica, which is a rare visitor to Australia's north and has a red rump and streaked, chestnut underparts. Swallows are also confused with the martins, of which there are two species in Australia: the Fairy Martin, H. ariel, and the Tree Martin, H. nigricans. Both species have shorter, more square tails, and white to buff rumps.

Hello Fatih
What a marvellous capture of this little bird, the Welcome swallow! I had never seen this kind, I think. I like a lot the POV, DOF and composition with that great sharpness and beautiful colors and details. Very good note, too.
Magnificent job.
Congratulations and TFS
Greetings
