Another new bird for me.

 Another new bird for me in the shape of an American Cliff Swallow seen at Joss Bay in late September but has taken me this long to document the fact. I never fared very well with images, (probably why its taken me so long to get around to looking at them) with a fifty mile an hour wind sending the Swallow over my various vantage points at break neck speeds and also this American visitor was always in amongst several hundred migrating House Martins and Barn Swallows, making it extremely difficult to pick out and get in the camera's view finder. A few poor record shots below of  a bird I never thought would see locally, never mind in the county of Kent. Congrats to the finder, one of the local sea watchers at North Foreland I believe, an easy bird to overlook in amongst hundreds of migrating Swallows, Sand and House Martins.
