White-backed Swallow

(Cheramoeca leucosternus)
Alternative names: "Black-and-white Swallow", "White-breasted Swallow", "White-capped Swallow"

Sightings

White-backed Swallows used the summer months to hunt insects above the paddocks where we lived in 2003-2006, 20 km south of Narrabri. They came in flocks of around 50 birds, but did not settle to allow us taking a photo.
