It was difficult to get a good shot as the swallows flew into and out of their cavities at high speed.

Not a great shot, but the first for this site. I posted this online to confirm ID, which was done by a 13 year old birder from Kelowna.

male, summer plummage
Serpentine Fen, Surrey BC
Tough to get good photos of the beautiful male. The colours always seem to fool the camera. They also never get too close and seem to be very aware of people around them.
