Swift

There was a swift's nest on the east-side of my house, where they occasionally
took there breath for a moment, long enough for me to take a photo.

The Common Swift

The Common Swift is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the Barn Swallow or House Martin but somewhat larger. It is, however, completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes.
