The Sumbawa Swiftlet is a species of swiftlet native to Sumbawa and nearby islands in Indonesia. It is an agile flyer, an integral part of the aerial insectivore community, and shares many characteristics with other swiftlets in the region.
Where to spot
Endemic to Sumbawa and surrounding islands within the Lesser Sundas of Indonesia. Inhabits forests, coastal areas, and is often seen foraging over open fields and human settlements.
How to spot
Observe its characteristic swiftlet flight, darting and gliding gracefully through the air. Distinguishing it from other similar swiftlets requires careful observation of subtle morphological cues and geographic location.
When to spot
Year-round resident, primarily active during daylight hours, especially in the mornings and late afternoons.
