I can never tell the difference between swifts and swallows.
I know they tagged one of them and found that they fly six miles up at night, then go to sleep on the wing.
They fly down in a spiral, whilst a sleep, incredible, or what?

A swift is a bigger bird than a swallow and has a larger scimitar shaped wing. It also does not have long extensions at the points of it's tail.
It flies higher and much faster. Whenever I see a swift I wonder how long it took to get here from SA.

Should be Beecy,big sigh of relief from me, with FFC.
Swifts are far noisier too,they shriek around at full tilt,usually more so, late in the year, when they are preparing to go to,well you know.

No I think those are swallows.
Swifts cannot perch by the way, however they can hang, similar to a bat. They are the fastest flying bird in the world and have been known to reach 100 mph.
I have seen swifts tackle 4 inch long locusts and 2 inch long wood wasps which have a tremendous sting. They eat vast numbers of insects.

I believe the Swift is the fastest animal living, followed by the cheetah. Ron used to be close neighbours with both.
