... who recognizes the calls of common swifts?

The common swifts (Apus apus) have returned to their nesting sites in Europe. At the same time, there are again many observations of common swifts on iNaturalist.

I would like to invite you to collect them with us in the Poject "Picture my habitat":

https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/picture-my-habitat

Please make sure to report your observations of breeding common swifts to your local bird protection association or to the contact person at the relevant municipal office. This is the only way to actually protect their nests and offspring!

In order to participate your observation to this project, you have to become a member. You then click on the picture of the observation that you want to add.

On the right hand, you select "Project", then click on the link with the title of "Picture my habitat". This opens a form which contains several fields. Here you can add more information about your observation.

Please note: You are free to fill out most of the fields. But there are two mandatory fields that must be filled out if you would like to add your observation to this project. These are:

"Habitat: breeding grounds and migration"
"Habitat (southern Africa): non breeding grounds" (if your observation was made during the breeding season, please select: "unknown")

Before you submit the form, remember to confirm your entries by clicking the button to the right of each field.

All the members of this project are looking forward to your contributions and thank you for your help!
