Olvera, Spain - Red-Rumped Swallow and House Martin searching for food in the mud.

Late evening, June 2014. On the very eastern edge of Olvera there's a small water trough which sometimes overflows into the surrounding area and provides plenty of opportunities for swallows and martins to find food within the mud. As for Olvera itself - situated in the north-eastern corner of the Cadiz province and with a population of about 8,500, this beautiful Andalucian town is one of the larger "pueblo blancos" (white villages) in the area with white houses, steep and narrow streets leading up to an old Arab fortress at the top of town. Close by is an impressive church, the 'Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación' (the Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation). There are plenty more photos of Olvera and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.
