I had a quick trip up to Grafham Water this morning to see this lovely Red-rumped Swallow. When I first arrived I couldn't see any birders or the bird. A quick walk on to the dam and something flicked up from my feet - the swallow! It flew around for a while and landed no more than around 8 feet from me. It gave stunning views for around four minutes until a blundering cyclist came along to within a few inches of it and it flew off towards Plummer car park. Luckily we relocated it flying over the road between the dam and the car park a while later, and still giving fantastic views.
