| Southern Rough-winged Swallow | 13 July 2025 | Central Aceh Regency,Bireun, Indonesia |
Here's a picture I found from the forest, showing these birds with their long beaks.
I spotted these birds on a power line in the forest. I only saw three birds perched on the wire, so I immediately took a few pictures, as we see now.

At first look definitely not a swallow but bee-eater 😀 I love bee-eaters and are so distinctive, but only if you are interested in birds.
It is already determined at iNaturalist and that is why I love using it.

@syibral-malasy thank you for the observation
😀😀😀,,That's absolutely true I also really like birds but it's hard for me to get pictures of them.
