I don't think we have swifts here, I only know the name...
We have at least 3 or 4 swallow species, as far as I know.
Swifts must be beautiful, I will google it, thanks! :D

yes, they are very fast and they give peculiar "screeks"... :D
i love when the young ones are flying out of the nests, they gather in swarms and race around the roofs and chimneys - like "look how i can fly!!!"
we have three species of swallows here... :D

Oh, you are able to see the youngest flying out of their nest? I hope you realize how lucky you are! :D (I am jealous, yes! :D)

well not really... last year we had a row of very young swallows sitting on our shed by the house... i took some photos, but don't ask me where i have them now... :D
many years ago i used to have a swifts nest right under the roof of the neighbour house... i could see the old ones flying in and out all day... i always feared they might crash to pieces, because they went in there at full speed... but i did miss the young ones leaving the nest... :D
