The Swift River is a 25.6 miles (41.2 km)[1] river in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Saco River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine.
The Swift River rises in the township of Livermore, New Hampshire, on the eastern side of Kancamagus Pass, and flows east into a broad valley, surrounded by mountains, known as the Albany Intervale. Leaving the intervale, the river enters a narrow gorge, passing over two sets of small waterfalls, and continues east through the town of Albany to the Saco River at Conway.

Another beautiful Australian parrot! This photo is also one from my archives, taken July 2007.
Scientific name: Lathamus discolor
Family: Psittacidae
Order: Psittaciformes
This is another beautiful Australian native parrot, but highly endangered. The Swift Parrot is a slim, medium-sized parrot with a streamlined shape in flight, angular pointed wings and a long pointed purple-red tail. The body is mostly bright green, with a dark blue patch on the crown. The forehead to throat is crimson and there is a crimson patch at the bend of the wing. The female is slightly duller, with a creamy underwing bar. In flight, the bright green body, dark flight feathers and scarlet underwing coverts are spectacular. They are noisy, active and showy, with a very fast, direct flight. This species is also known as the Red-faced or Red-shouldered Parrot.
Swift Parrots breed only in Tasmania, along the eastern coastal strip, the Wellington ranges near Hobart and on Maria and Bruny Islands. The Swift Parrot is endemic to (found only in) south-eastern Australia, breeding in Tasmania. It is found mainly in southern and central Victoria in winter and also in eastern New South Wales.
Swift Parrots have a regular annual migration pattern. All birds remain in Tasmania for breeding from September to March. Then in April, most move to the mainland for the winter, to Victoria and New South Wales. They are probably nomadic in winter, looking for flowering trees.
Swift Parrots feed in the outer canopy of flowering eucalypts, eating mainly nectar, as well as some psyllids and lerps, seeds and flowers. They are active and agile when feeding, often hanging upside down.

Here was where the biggest strike, in my lifetime, took place 25 years ago. Swifts. I wonder if the same thing would happen if Rexall employees tried it. Never mind.

Swifts have always fascinated me, with their speed and noise around their nest sites. I am very lucky at the moment as they nest in a number of houses close to where I live. However, living on a fairly modern housing development presents a number of problems were trying to take pictures. Firstly as the birds fly low and fast around, over and between the buildings there is only a very short window of opportunity in which to photograph them. Also, pointing a camera with a 400mm lens at someone else house could be difficult, unless of course they already know what I’m up to!!.
Swifts really make photography difficult, in that they often fly high & slow or low & fast. Also they approach the nest sites at tremendous speed from various angles and go straight in under the roof tiles. Still, it is a challenge that I was keen to give a go, and why not given that I only have to step out of my front door.
The recent warm weather has brought around a change of behaviour from the local swifts. They seem to be making more trips back to the nest. It may be that they are just feeding the growing young. However, I have seen on a number of occasions, a swift being pulled off the house wall by another swift as it attempts to get under the tiles. I haven’t been able to work out quite what has been going on. Also their calls change a lot from a screen to almost a single note warble.
While watching the swifts the local sparrowhawk has flown over a number of times. I guess that it is around far more than I have realised but I haven’t spent that much time looking skywards. The reaction from the swifts is always to go high, but I don’t think that the sparrowhawk really has a chance of catching them.
Hopefully, these pictures do credit to an amazing bird, which has been a pleasure to watch over the weekend
