Not sure exactly which species of swallow these belong to. They were seen taking a break on the Chek Jawa House No. 1 jetty railing. They could be either Pacific Swallows or Barn Swallows. Both look very much alike to an armchair birder. However, the Barn variety seems to have a black breast band whereas the pictured birds do not but have a brownish chest instead. They are more likely Pacific Swallows.
