Well, the common swift joins my gallery, but with documentary, symbolic quality. When I was taking photos of the baillon’s crake, or rather when I was waiting hours and hours for its appearance, there was enough time to try to get some pictures of the common swift. Though they were everywhere in abundance, capturing them on pictures is a big challenge. The common swift spends most of its life flying. On the ground it can be seen only during the breeding season. It is absolutely amazing that, apart from a short time of raisin offspring, it can spend a year or two flying  in the air. They can stay at the altitude of over 2000 meters and fly at the speed of almost 200 km/h. These amazing aviators weigh 50 grams, and their wingspan reaches 45 cm.

There are no radical changes in this gallery, but in Spain I had time to take some new photos which I can show here. Unfortunately, all of them are against the sky. I have also added the swift soundtrack.
