Thanks Resin. You are right about all you have mentioned. Your clues took me to the right pages in my book. The book says it is the Purple Moorhen. But it is all the same. The bird with wings open in that picture could also be the same.

You say it is a young swallow [2]. Does that develop the tail and pointed wings as it grows older?

Is this the adult swallow - this is a severely cropped picture, sorry.
