🐦Common House Martin
De huiszwaluw (Delichon urbicum) is een vogel uit de familie van de zwaluwen (Hirundinidae). Het is een trekvogel die broedt in Europa, Noord-Afrika en de gematigde streken van Azië en overwintert in Sub-Saharisch Afrika. De huiszwaluw dankt zijn naam aan de gewoonte om te broeden in menselijke bouwwerken en is makkelijk te herkennen aan het blauwzwarte en witte verenkleed. Hij voedt zich met insecten die hij in zijn vlucht vangt.
