Ornithographies #278, Alpine Swift, Medes Islands, Catalonia, 2023
These rocks are the Medes Islands, a small archipelago of limestone located off the Catalan coast. This marine natural park is very special, especially for its underwater biodiversity, but also in the air —it provides an ideal place for birds to nest. Both gulls and, in this case, Alpine Swifts, take advantage of the rock cavities for nesting. Swifts are highly aerodynamic birds that feed on insects while flying, which explains the large numbers and the unpredictable aerial patterns they draw in the sky around the limestone cliffs. - Xavi Bou
