Swifts

At least, I'm pretty sure that's what they are - little swooping birds, over the pond, mostly. But I got these snaps of one poking around the goose droppings... Tasty, I guess!

Ah, they're swallows - that about swifts and chimneys rings a bell now that I hear it. And it explains why I couldn't find a good match when I looked for swifts in an image search. I did find swallows that match right up. Thanks, John!

I think that is probably a swallow rather than a swift. Swifts usually only cling to vertical surfaces like the interior of chimneys.
