Juvenile Alpine swifts in care, they had a bad start, something bad happened to their outer primaries. 😥

Junge Alpensegler, mit viel Pech, haben die wichtigen äusseren Handschwingen verloren, sie müssen nachwachsen!

Die Unterbringung auf Papier in einer Schachtel ist richtig für diesen Alpensegler, auch die Grösse passt. Problematisch ist die gefüllte Wasserschale, der Vogel liegt irgendwann unweigerlich auf durchnässtem Papier während des Transports.

2024 begins as 2023 ended: an #AlpineSwift in Freiburg in SW Germany! Presumably the same bird has been oberved since December 26th, at times also a second one. Looking at the weather forecast for the next two weeks, overwintering seems hardly conceivable though. #birds #birding #ClimateCrisis

Alpine Swifts at Christmas - who would have thought? Today, on Boxing Day, two Alpine Swifts were observed near Freiburg in SW Germany. Thus the exceptional series of extremely late sightings continues. #AlpineSwift #birds #birdings #ClimateCrisis

In 2023, the Alpine swifts remain at the breeding grounds in Freiburg im Breisgau (SW Germany) for longer and in greater numbers than ever before. Even today, November 1st, at least 24 were counted at the nocturnal roosts! #AlpineSwift #Birding
