This is one of two young common swifts which I found. They both grew up and came back to the natural environment.

Znalazłam dwa jerzyki, oto ten starszy. Obydwa dorosły i odleciały. Mam nadzieję, że dobrze im się wiedzie ^^

  • Great bird.Apus apus.

  • @EdmondLocard1 dzięki ;)

  • wow do you know... this is a world fastest bird

  • @wishwacom yeh I know this ^__^" I am so happy that I brought up two of those amazing birds. And sometimes I regret that I can't be one of them...

  • @takataminna quick question how fast is it i know the peregrine holds record for 270mph or are they just very fast fliers which i think so becuase they scared me with there speed

  • @tylepo123456789 According to BBC article from March 2010 "The swift (Apus apus) can power itself to a speed of 111.6km/h (69.3mph) flying horizontally and even upwards.

    Other birds, such as peregrine falcons, fly faster while diving in a stoop, but the swift is the fastest accurately recorded flying under its own power."

  • Wonderful

  • Awww. It's so cute. :3

  • Woa, common swifts are really beautiful. :)

  • To są tak wspaniałe i mądre ptaki,że w dwóch słowach nie da się tego o nich powiedzieć.

    W tym roku walczyłem o nie,bo zachciało im się remontu bloku.Nie wiadomo,czy wrócą do nas w przyszłym roku.Mam nadzieję,że tak,choć te gniazda przy kuchni wyglądają już inaczej,niż na filmie.Obniżyli rynny i dlatego.Uratowałem jednak wiele innych miejsc lęgowych,do których wracały każdego roku,załatwiłem im nowe otwory na gniazda.Zobaczymy,co z tego wyniknie w 2011r.

    Pozdrawiam.
