COMMON SWIFT

Habitat

It nests in cavities and cracks that it finds in the different structures of towns and cities. It moves through any habitat in search of food, generally flying insects that it catches with its agile flight and its large mouth.

Description

Dark coloured bird, short forked tail and long curved wings. With very short legs, it is almost always seen in flight, they usually fly higher than swallows and in a different way, and this helps us to differentiate them if the observation is not from close. Both sexes are the same.
