I am a bird lover and I must admit that this is one of the nicest shots I have had the pleasure of viewing. That lens and camera combo is pretty darn tough to beat. Thanks so much for posting.

Thank you for looking Tony, I'm not much into birds, but got lucky taking this image

Nice shot. However it's a species of drongo rather than a swallow. Possibly a fork-tailed drongo (Dicruridae: Dicrurus adsimilis).
