Vrae wat reisigers vra

’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Common Swift op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Common Swift in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Common Swift at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

Where can you see the Common Swift in South Africa?

The Common Swift is most recorded in Western Cape (59% of records), Northern Cape (15% of records), Mpumalanga (7% of records), based on 74 iNaturalist observations. 36 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Common Swift on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Common Swift?

Sightings of the Common Swift peak from Nov to Feb, based on 74 iNaturalist records. You may still see it outside those months, sightings are just less frequent.

What is the Common Swift?

The common swift (Apus apus) is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger, though not stemming from those passerine species, being in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development.
