Thank you for the 50 swift observations! They are now still a few weeks in Europe before they fly back to Africa. We appreciate all your contributions that help to get to know their whereabouts better!

This year we observe an unusual phenomenon: after the young birds have left the nests, the parent pairs continue to stay there for weeks. They spend the night in the nest and also return to rest in the now empty nest during the day, either individually or together. Do you make similar observations? Thank you for sharing them with our project "Picture my habitat".
