| Résumé : | We describe an unusual site for a nesting colony of the Common Swift situated under a motorway bridge. This colony contained 38 breeding pairs in 2007, 35 of which successfully produced nestlings. However, due to poor weather conditions the survival rate of nestlings was low. Only 7 from a total of 75 nestlings fledged successfully. This site offers an excellent opportunity to study swifts further and to investigate aspects of swift and avian life-history. |
