This image is an id plate that describes the common swift (Apus apus), a fast-flying bird with dark plumage, long sickle-shaped wings, and a forked tail. It typically lays 2–3 eggs and can live up to 17 years. Swifts feed on flying insects and are present in the UK mainly from May to August, nesting around towns and villages, with an estimated 59,000 breeding pairs. The graphic is labeled with clear icons and text on a blue background, and includes a photo of the bird in flight.

It’s #SwiftAwarenessWeek!
These amazingly adapted #birds eat, sleep & mate on the wing! 🐦‍⬛🌀

📝Add them to your GBW list if they’re nesting in your home or feeding low over your garden

🐞 Gardening for wildlife helps boost their insect prey!
