Beste Elsie,



You wrote:



Swallows (Hirundinidae) are distinguished by its more angular wings rather
than

the sickle-shaped wings of the swifts (Micropodidae). (From Roberts’ *Birds
of South Africa*]



Which is why a swift sometimes gets called "zikkel-zwalm" in Eastern
Flanders.



Kind greetings,



Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium
