Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Perching Birds (Passeriformes) > Martins and Swallows (Hirundinidae) > Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Relatively small passerines with long, pointed wings, adapted for a life mainly in the air, where they catch insects by means of fast agile flight and large gaping mouths. They have short legs and small bills. Most of these winter in the tropics and therefore fly long distances each year.3 / 8
