The common swift is a brown/black passage migrant which may be seen from September to December and March to April. The upper 7 photos were taken in Denmark, courtesy of Dr. Louis A. Hansen who noted: "the adults are almost uniformly dark except for the light throat. Younger birds apparently have a more contrasting throat pattern (resembling the pallid swift)". The lower 4 adults were seen in Mkomazi NP, courtesy of Paul Oliver.
