We had a father's day visit to the seaside and were entertained by acrobatic sand martins this time. At least I think they were sand martins. They were definitely not swallows and not house martins, because I know what they look like now. These were brown. However, they might have been swifts.......No, I'm pretty sure they were sand martins, because they were quite small. They were moving far too fast to capture on camera, so I can't check now that I'm at home again. I have an alternative bird picture. Some ducklings and mummy duck tucking into some bread that had been left for them. I know most of us have grown up feeding bread to the ducks, but it is now considered to be bad for them and the ponds, rivers and canals. See the link here
