Swifts
I really enjoyed watching these superb birds flying over me, actively communicating between themselves, and performing stunning aerials. I noticed their white throats pumping as they fill it up with insects over time, which eventually can extend a lot. During a day they can catch thousands of small flies and other insects. In terms of flight, they can amaze you, with their manoeuvrability and extremely sharp angles. I read somewhere that they can eat, drink, mate and sleep in flight, with some of them not landing for as much as 10 months! Amazing
