[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
House Martin (Delichon urbica)
Italian name: Balestruccio

A House Martin is easily identified by its obvious rectangular white rump, not found on either Swallows or Sand Martins. It can be distinguished from Red-rumped Swallow by its squarer tail and whiter underparts and face.
Breeds in towns and villages and on farm buildings, bridges and occasionally cliffs.
Widespread and numerous in most of Europe.
More than ten million breeding pairs across most of Europe.
