🦉 The sand martin (Riparia riparia), also known as the bank swallow (in the Americas), collared sand martin, or common sand martin

📚 Riparia ripa (lat.) river bank, riparius coastal

This sand swallow lives on the outskirts of the city where the river flows. And along the coast, where there is a steep sandy shore, they can always be found in summer. They arrive late and depart early. They are quite nimble and fast, and it is incredibly difficult to take a photo in flight. Exactly like not in flight.

In these photos, I was able to capture the process of feeding nestlings. I forgot to say that these birds dig holes in the sandy cliff. If it is nearby, then the birds will be afraid and will not fly up to their homes, keep this in mind and do not harm them. You will need to hide and lie down on the ground so that the birds calm down.
