Talk:Sand martin

Sand Martin / Bank Swallow
Most (all?) birders in North America call this bird a Bank Swallow. In most webpages I reviewed from NA, the term Sand Martin is not even suggested as a possible name. Only in Europe and Asia is it called a Sand Martin. I suggest that we use both names in the taxobox to show the importance of using Bank Swallow as the common name for this bird. How do others feel about this addition? DGERobertson (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Fenology
The information given in the article on the arrival to breeding grounds is not related to any area. With such a wide range, obviously the dates must differ substantially between the regions. RGwroc 18:58, 18 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RGwroc (talk • contribs)

Smalley reference
I can't figure out how to edit it (when I click edit on References, not all of them are there?) but the link for "Sand martins favour loess: How the properties of loess ground facilitate the nesting of sand martins/bank swallows/uferschwalben (Riparia riparia Linnaeus 1758)" is broken. I looked up the article, and the same DOI but without the dx prefix should work. 216.154.48.183 (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
