People all over Britain and Europe have long welcomed the arrival
of swifts and swallows as a promise of summer being just around the
corner. And with their similar long wings and dashing flight, it is
perhaps understandable that we often confuse the two birds. After
all, they have much in common: both feed on flying insects, both
breed around buildings, and both are long-distance migrants that
spend winter in Africa. But appearances can be deceptive. Swifts
and swallows are completely unrelated birds that have adapted
through evolution to survive in similar ways. In Spotlight: Swifts
and Swallows, Mike Unwin reveals their fascinating lifestyles,
explains how and why they have acquired their similarities, and
ways in which we can help protect them. The Spotlight series
introduces readers to the lives and behaviour of our favourite
animals with eye-catching colour photography and informative expert
text.
