The Philippine Swiftlet is an agile, endemic swiftlet found across the Philippine archipelago. It is a tireless aerial insectivore, darting through the skies in search of flying insects.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, widely distributed across many islands. Inhabits forests, coastal areas, agricultural lands, and often seen over urban environments.
How to spot
Look for its typical swiftlet silhouette: a dark, streamlined body with long, swept-back wings, exhibiting rapid and sweeping flight patterns. It often flies in small to moderate-sized flocks.
When to spot
Year-round resident, active throughout the day, particularly during morning and late afternoon forays.

This swiftlet contributes significantly to natural pest control within its island ecosystems by consuming large quantities of flying insects daily.
