Due to recent decline, the House Martin is on the RSBP's red list of endangered birds. It is "a small bird with glossy blue-black upper parts and pure white under parts. It has a distinctive white rump with a forked tail and, on close inspection, white feathers covering its legs and toes. It spends much of its time in flight, collecting insect prey. The bird's mud nest is usually located below the eaves of buildings. They are summer migrants and spend their winters in Africa." - RSBP
