Good morning all.
To celebrate a number of significant milestones, we are on holiday in Tenerife, only our second overseas holiday in 20+ years.
Anyway, can I check that the circa 5 Swifts flying over the hotel complex are most likely Plain Swifts.
The birds seem to have a more fluttering wingbeat with sharper turns, more like bats, than the Common Swift. They also seem smaller.
Being around the pool and being on a family holiday I don’t have my bins to hand.
Any replies would be most appreciated as this would be a lifer.
Regards
