Looks like an African Swallow to me.

An unladen African Swallow?

But can an African swallow carry a coconut?

@birdingnut if there are 2 of them only..

Cat level: SNACK!

I think the gull would snack on the cat. They are large.

A 3 1/2 depending on the bird.

I need a reference when I'm doing level six. But I'm a five without a book or computer.

I will hunt it down until I know. (I must know what that bird was!).

yes, i'm like that: i have to know what to call the bird - but am not level 5 🙂

I try to get a photo of any unknown species, then crop the photo and find a match.
