PALLID SWIFT 1
Pallid swift, Apus pallidus. 3 April 2022. Tel Aviv, Israel.
I appreciate the difficulties of separating pallid swifts from common swifts (Apus apus) in the field. This is one of the few sharp photographs I have. I had excellent views of them and after discussions with a local birder concluded that they are pallid swifts rather than common. I've also got some heavily cropped versions of these swifts that, whilst grainy, clearly show the dark eye patch and pale throat that is indicative of pallid swift.
