Description:
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph by Magnus von Wright, printed by A. Bortzells Tryckeri, features the Common Swift (Cypselus apus). The Common Swift is characterized by its slender, crescent-shaped wings and forked tail, which give it remarkable agility in flight. It has dark plumage with a slightly paler throat and a distinctive, streamlined body designed for rapid, long-distance flying.
**Habitat and Distribution:**
The Common Swift is an aerial insectivore that spends most of its life on the wing. It is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The swift breeds in urban and rural areas where it can find suitable nesting sites in buildings, cliffs, and old trees.
- **Europe:** Breeds throughout Europe, migrating to Africa for the winter.
- **Asia:** Found in temperate regions, migrating to southern Asia and Africa during the winter.
- **Africa:** Winters across sub-Saharan Africa.
