It&#8217;s an old saying in Dubrovnik area. I&#8217;ve been told this many times during my life and it really says it all &#8211; chatty, temperamental, maybe a bit too much of both&#8230; Alpine swifts are definitely the loudest and most playful birds on the island.

It was not an easy task. If you look up in the sky during the summer, you&#8217;ll recognise them as little black and white boomerang shaped objects intersecting each other in flight with great precision, punging from the sky and then flying up quickly. The chirps of the swifts in the early morning might drive some crazy. They sound as if they are constantly discussing, like a group of loud women over the afternoon coffee in a local bar.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_id=&#8221;photo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;10056,10061,10057,10060,10059,10053,10054,10055,10101,10102,10103,10104&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; auto=&#8221;on&#8221; auto_speed=&#8221;4000&#8243;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4px|||||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>You will find more Alpine swifts (Tachymarptis melba) in Dubrovnik area then any other place on Croatian coastline. They mix with common swifts (Apus apus), who are smaller and completely black. During the winter time, swifts from Lopud move to South Africa and come back again during the spring time. They live up to 20 years, migrate every year and always return to the place where they were born.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Alpine swift is more resistant to weather conditions than its related common swift, so it arrives back to Lopud earlier (April) and returns later (October).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span>They nest on house facades and roof structures,\u00a0<\/span>laying eggs in late May. Babies hatch in early June, but they stay in the nest until late July or early August. Once they are fully capable to fly, they join the others in their dance under the sun. They go quite far in search of food (flies, mosquitoes, wasps) and return before sunset when you can hear them chirping above Lopud promenade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Alpine swifts have very short legs which they use only for clinging to vertical surfaces. They never settle voluntarily on the ground. However, they do occasionally come down to the ground to feed on ants, bees, etc. Swifts tend to fly at extremely high altitudes and sometimes even sleep in the air. They fly along with other swifts and swallows, and can travel up to about 1000 km&#8217;s in a day!
