trick or treat !!!

Perhaps a prince of the skies would like an animal that spends a lot of time in the skies: a common swift, the record holder for longest uninterrupted flight-- 10 months!

Bird of the day!!

Today is the common swift!

A beautiful bird with a unique flying pattern, these birds can be found from as far up as Norway and as South as north Africa with a presence in the middle East too!

I'm used to growing up with their song being heard late into the summer night, since they come back up north during the summers. And their song consists of a simple and kinda annoying "srrriii" which they scream while flying with other swifts:)

And a fun fact about swifts is that they almost never land, and spend most of their time up in the air! Eating, sleeping, bathing and mating can all be done up in the air with an exception for nests and laying eggs.

Собственно стриж и подоконник после сеанса кормления)

Приобрела сегодня зоофобаса (личинок) и сверчков для него.

Зоофобас это скорее добавка к рациону, со сверчками несколько трудней: я отсоединяю двумя пинцетами конечности и головы, скармливая стрижу мягкие тельца (а потом собираю по столу вылетевшие кишки хахахахах).

[Но сразу после успешного разделывания сверчков я столкнулась с фактом совершенного неумения своего раскрывать консервные банки.]

Attack of the Common Swift

I’m ready for my final hike in the Faroe Islands. The land is covered in a cloudy fog, with occasional light rain sprinkling. I get going, with no one else around me. I take in the landscape, this place that I have fallen deeply in love with, with each slow step along the trail. The fog has a quiet, moody presence. The occasional sheep acknowledges me as I pass…. The closer I get to the water,…
