Discover the aerial wonders of Swiftlets, these graceful birds of the Old World, found primarily in Southern Asia and the Pacific. In the captivating image (Picture No. 10767023), a Glossy Swiftlet (Collocalia esculenta) sits atop its nest in a Filipino dwelling on Cebu Island, showcasing their unique nesting habits. Swiftlets build their nests from their own saliva, which hardens into a firm, flexible material. In contrast, the Black-nest Swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus) of Borneo's Gomantong Caves (pictured in JPF30735 and the second image) construct their nests from darker material, often sharing their roosting sites with bat colonies. The White-bellied Swiftlet (Aerodramus leucogaster) of Borneo, as seen in the final image, is another fascinating swiftlet species, known for its striking white underbelly and agile flight. These enchanting birds are not only a sight to behold but also an essential part of the ecosystem, contributing to pollination and seed dispersal.
