Barn Swallow at Alphonse

Barn Swallow (Ari Fernández)

Ari Fernández and Chris Narty have reported a Barn Swallow on 30 October seen flying in front of the fishing centre and perching in the branches of a Barringtonia.

Barn Swallow is an annual visitor to Seychelles in small numbers and the only land bird to pass through the islands on both southbound and northbound migration.
