Résumé :	A specimen of Pallid Swift Apus pallidus illyricus from 11 March 1993, Kirke Helsinge, West Zealand, which had originally been labelled as Common Swift Apus apus, was discovered in the collection of the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen (Cat. 91.402). This is the first Danish record of Pallid Swift and the first North European record of ssp. illyricus. This subspecies is much more similar to Common Swift than the other two subspecies of Pallid Swift, and identification requires extreme caution.
