A widespread and agile treeswift, the Grey-rumped Treeswift is easily recognized by its distinctive grey rump and long, pointed wings. It is a familiar sight in various forest types.
Where to spot
Extensive range across Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and many smaller islands.
How to spot
Scan the skies above forested areas or look for them perched on the highest branches of emergent trees. The grey rump is a useful field mark, especially in flight.

Treeswifts construct tiny, flimsy nests using bark pieces and feathers, which are meticulously glued with saliva onto the side of a thin, exposed branch.
