Whiskered Treeswift (Hemiprocne comata)

These are unusually beautiful Swifts, someone must have decided to be a little more creative on that perticular day. It was with great fortune that they were perching on this low hanging telephone wire, and on that day when I was trekking in Danum Valley, otherwise they would be very high up around the tree canopy unreachable even to my longest lens .... Thanks ...
