Spotted
Dodge's Swiftlet is a small, agile swiftlet species found in parts of Southeast Asia, often considered part of a larger complex of similar swiftlets. It spends most of its life on the wing, tirelessly foraging for insects.
Where to spot
Typically found on the island of Borneo and surrounding regions in Southeast Asia. Inhabits forests, coastal areas, and often seen over open country.
How to spot
Observe its characteristic swiftlet flight – rapid, direct, and often high in the sky. Distinguishing it from other swiftlet species in its range can be challenging and often requires keen observation of subtle plumage details or vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours, with increased activity in the morning and late afternoon.
Like many swiftlets, it possesses the remarkable ability to echolocate, allowing it to navigate and find its way around dark caves and crevices where it roosts.
