    The top ladybird has been parasitised, the brown cocoon is the parasite Dinocampus coccinellae.

    Thanks - he seemed to be doing the exact same things as the swallows - skimming the water?


    Edit: I see that the Sand Martin is called the 'Bank Swallow' in the States!

    Yeah, both species do that, especially on cool and windy days as that is where most insects are to be found.

    Those dimples are something else.. I thought the creature was injured at first, but since there's an aligned pair.
