  Tree swift
The tree swifts or crested swifts are aerial near passerine birds, closely related to the true swifts.
These are birds of open woodland which, like all swifts, have life styles based on catching insects in flight.
They lay one grey egg in the nest, which is glued to an open tree branch.

Bird highlights were Pallid Harrier, more Barred Buttonquail, a number of Pied Cuckoos, Crested Treeswift, Indian Pitta, Jungle Prinia, and Blue-faced Malkoha.

8 FEB Towering cliffs on our way to Doi Ang Khang will give us an opportunity to search for Crested Treeswift and Crested Bunting and various prinias on the grassy slopes.
