The Grey-rumped Treeswift forms a superspecies and was previously considered conspicific with the Crested Treeswift (H. coronata). The former occurs in the Sunda subregion plus Sulawesi, the latter replaces it in Thailand and Indochina into India. Incredibly, for these widespread and fairly numerous two species there are big gaps in our knowledge of their nesting biology, neither incubation nor fledging periods have ever been recorded (Handbook of Birds of the World, Vol. 5, p. 465).

fledging period of the Grey-rumped Treeswift: it is exactly 4 weeks! (above, male tending to young; below pair tending to young) So, how is the Grey-rumped Treeswift doing? Well, none of the four treeswifts are globally threatened with extinction. However, the HBW states that ‘Pesticides are suspected to be behind recent population declines in Singapore’. More

Grey-rumped Treeswift Hemiprocne longipennis Moustached Treeswift Hemiprocne mystacea Whiskered Treeswift Hemiprocne comata The Treeswifts are closely related to the typical swifts and together with the Hummingbirds form the superorder Apodimorphae. Unlike its celebrated close relatives this small family of just four species is comparatively unknown to all but the birding fraternity. Although they lack the extreme aerial adaptations of Swifts and Hummingbirds they are, nevertheless, a fascinating and stunningly beautiful quartet. More
