| Remarks : | During the morning, the House Swifts are actively visiting the low limestone cliff that is just within 10 metres above ground. However, most of the birds only land briefly to feed it and take off, this bird perched on the cliff for a short while before departing, but it was not perched on a nest hole like most other nearby swifts were doing. - TJY |
