Vlad noticed some flapping of wings on the ground and some feathery hopping. It was a swift, apparently injured. It would flap its wings, fly up slightly and then plunge right back to the ground. He put it on top of a log, hopefully out of cats' field of vision.

Swift Campout is a loosely organized (if at all) event, in a way, where people are encouraged to go on overnight bicycle camping trips. The first Swift Campout was organized by Swift Industries, a Seattle-based company that makes bags and accessories for bicycle touring, about 5 years ago as a means of self promotion (it seems) and to encourage group rides and exploration of parks and campgrounds within an easy ride.

This is about the clearest shot I got, but as they fly by so fast, I think I was lucky to get even this.

Køreteknisk anlæg på Sydsjælland et sted... Niels kører to swifts efter mig.

De små kegleformede børn fik læsterlige tæsk af en helt tydeligt inkompetent-i-glat-føre HC. Men jeg var sej til resten...

Efter at have arbejdet på hver sin computer i minibussen på den timelange køretur derned og hjem igen gik vi på Bang og Jensen og arbejdede videre. Undervejs fandt jeg dog tilfældigvis to par sko... Hmm. Hvorfor er de ikke flickret?

I was lucky today in that the sun was out when this Swift flew by and he was at the right angle.

Irish Name:

Gabhlán gaoithe

Status

Widespread though declining summer visitor throughout Ireland from May to early September.

Identification

About the same size as a Swallow, but all dark. Spends virtually all of its life airborne and never seen resting on wires, as Swallows and Martins frequently do. The weak and small feet of a Swift only allow it to cling to vertical surfaces or shuffle akwardly on the ground (at the nest). In flight, has a distinctive shape with scythe shaped wings held straight out from the body. One of the fastest flying birds in Ireland.

Voice

Most frequently heard is a high-pitched scream "srrrriii". Often given by pairs in high speed chases.

Diet

Feeds exclusively on various invertebrates (midges, flies, spiders) caught in flight

Breeding

Breeds throughout Ireland, usually in small recesses in buildings, both occupied and derelict. Less frequently in holes in trees or caves in uplands or coastal areas.

Wintering

Winters in tropical Africa. Migrants arrive from the end of April onwards and most will have departed by mid-August. A few individuals can usually be seen up until the start of September.

If I could have had a pound for every time it fetched the ball, I'd be retired by now
