A Swift in flight, displaying its long curved wings and streamlined body, against a blurred background of green foliage. Under its small head, at its throat, a round bulge is visible - showing the Swifts' special throat pouch full of tasty insects ready to regurgitate as a 'bolus' (pellet) for its hungry chicks.
Did you know? Swift parents feed their chicks by regurgitating 'boluses' of food.
Caught on the wing & stored in a special throat pouch, they can contain up to 1000 insects!
Check out that throat pouch 👇
