	Little Swift - Definition, explanation
		The Little Swift (Apus affinis), or House Swift, is a small bird, superficially similar to a Barn Swallow or House Martin.
		Little Swifts breed around habitation and cliffs from Africa eastwards through southern tropical Asia to western Indonesia.
		Little Swifts spend most of their lives in the air, living on the insects they catch in their beaks.

	Swift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The swifts are birds superficially similar to swallows but are completely unrelated to those passerine species; swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes, which they formerly shared with the hummingbirds.
		The resemblances between the swifts and swallows are due to convergent evolution reflecting similar life styles based on catching insects in flight.
		Swifts are the most aerial of birds and some, like the Common Swift, even sleep and mate on the wing.

	Jonathan Swift - "FRAGMENT OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY
		Swift, who was well versed in English history, although he was under twenty-one years old, gave the King a short account of the matter, but a more large one to the Earl of Portland; but all in vain.
		Swift was put off with some other church livings not worth above a third part of that rich Deanery; and at this present time, not a sixth: namely, the Rectory of Agher, and the Vicarage of Laracor and Rathbeggan in the Diocese of Meath; for which his letters patent bear date the 24th February following.
		Swift the Prebend of Dunlavan in the Cathedral of St. Patrick's, by an instrument of institution and collation dated the 28th of September.

	Birds, Familiar: Chimney Swift, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		From the fact that swifts in the courting season so often fly three together when engaged in their pursuits--in the initial part at least, for at the culmination the pair find themselves alone--a surmise has arisen that one male and two females make up the trio and that the swift is polygamous.
		The stroke of the swift's wing gives a jerky, hurried effect compared with the more leisurely movement of a swallow, and the tips of the wings are not swept backward, even when the birds are sailing, as they are, in varying degree, in the flight of all the swallows.
		Enemies.--Because the swift spends a large part of its life moving rapidly through the air, almost never coming to rest except at its nest or when roosting in a chimney or a hollow tree, it is practically out of reach of any mammal that otherwise might prey upon it.

	Swift GT Articles - Suzuki Swift GT
		The feather-light Swift GT achieves amazing low-gear accelerative g-forces that stretch your chubby cheeks back until your mouth is drawn into a grin from ear to ear.
		This is not to say that the car is unpleasant--far from it on the street, the Swift GT tackles bumps without banging crashing or other percussive impacts, but the ride is rather springy, displaying a moderate level of pogoing and pitch.
		The Suzuki Swift GT does have its ups downs, from a powerful, quiet, versatile and effective vent system, to very poor paint on its bumpers, But it is always great fun in an unpretentious, vibrant, youthful way.

	Jonathan Swift - "BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION" by W.E.H. Lecky
		Swift welcomed the change with delight, and one of its first results was the concession by Harley of that boon to the Irish clergy which Swift had been so long vainly seeking to extort from the Whigs.
		Swift was very fond of the society of ladies, and he made many strong and lasting female friendships, but, as he has himself said, and as appears most abundantly, both from his writings and from his life, he was constitutionally unsusceptible to passion.
		Whiteway, the niece of Swift, is said to have informed one of his relations that Stella was carried shortly before her death to the deanery, and being very feeble was laid upon a bed, while Swift sat by the side, holding her hand and addressing her in the most affectionate terms.

		Swift has been criticized for a series of public relations blunders such as using state aides to baby-sit her then-infant daughter and hitching a quick ride home to Williamstown in a state police helicopter.

		For me, a Swift was that little taperwing blur diving down on my biplane, years later, roaring by at double my cruising speed, streaking near in a long bright flash then lifting her nose high up and rolling, pulling up into a long lazy slow roll into the sun.

		The photos are in no particular groupings as it was impossible at the time to get the photos and keep a record of which swift was which - but I have tried to arrange birds with an obviously similar moult stage together in the assumption that they are likely to be the same individuals.
