CommentCapturing swifts in flight is hard particularly in poor light. Identifying the species anywhere in South-east Asia is also hard. This image shows the characteristic features of the House Swift: broad wings, a stocky appearance, a pale forehead, a white-throat patch, a white rump which tends to curve down the sides, and a very slightly-forked tail.
