Bradfield's Swift

Apus bradfieldi

Bradfield's Swift (Apus bradfieldi) is a species of swift found in the African countries of Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia. This species is known for its distinctive black plumage and long, slender wings. Bradfield's Swift is a highly aerial species, spending the majority of its life in flight, only landing to breed. It is often found in the vicinity of cliffs and gorges, where it nests in rock crevices. This species is a remarkable aerial acrobat, capable of swift and agile flight. Despite its impressive aerial abilities, Bradfield's Swift is currently facing threats due to habitat loss and degradation.
