Additional Details:
This handsome bird is an occassional visitor in the summer, but must be considered irregular and rare. Insects form its chief food, taken usually on the wing, and in some districts much damage is inflicted on the peasant's hives of bees. It usually breeds in communities like the Sand Martin in holes excavated in banks of rivers, etc
