G'day Chris et al

Looks like the subspecies dedii (Bali & Lombok) of Collocalia linchito me. It is linchi because as Mick says that is green on the upperwings & not the blue of the Glossy Swiftlet, and the subsp. dedii haslittle green and mostly black as your photo indicates.

With the NW winds we have been having any of the swifts could turn upin Aus, so it pays to keep ones eyes looking skyward.


Cheers

Mike
