The Bradfield's swift is near endemic to southern Africa, occurring across Namibia and the Northern Cape. It prefers arid habitats, such as desert and open savanna, often rocky, mountainous areas. It forages in flocks, almost exclusively eating termite alates, bees and other flying insects. Its breeding habits are little known, however it is thought to be a monogamous colonial nester. The nest is a makeshift half cup, made of plant material and feathers, glued together with saliva. More
