Pacific Swift
Apus pacificus
In focus
A traveller across summer skies
Also known as the Fork-tailed Swift, the Pacific Swift visits Australia after breeding in Asia. Long, swept wings, a deeply forked tail and a white rump create a distinctive silhouette. Feeding on insects while airborne, it is a reminder that even the sky above familiar places can be part of an international journey.
Where to look
A non-breeding visitor across Australia, including the eastern states.
