Hirundo javanica - the 'Javan Swallow' (formally grouped together with other spp. as H. tahitica ) • oh, to soar gracefully in the wind (and have yummy bugs) • Swallows belong to a family of birds that've found niches in aerial feeding -- that's capturing and consuming prey while in flight -- usually on insects flying around in the air. Owing to this, species across the family evolved a unique and pretty cool aerodynamic shape, allowing them to efficiently fly at high speeds. Other birds in this family (Hirundininae) include swifts, martins and saw-wings. • Swallows themselves are also famous for their cup-shaped nests made of mud which they build under ledges of cliffs. Though nowadays in urban environments, they've found nesting under roofs, bridges and other man-made hollow structures to be fine too. These nests aren't the edible ones used in Bird's Nest (燕窝) soup/drinks, although they use the same Chinese word 燕 (yàn) . Those use the nests of swiftlets instead (also in the Hirundininae). • As for pacific swallows, they're the most common swallow species in Singapore, appearing all over the country whenever some insects decide to congregate in the air. The rest of our swallows are migratory visitors. One of them is the barn swallow, which looks very similar, but has a blue band around its chest. While they may have a striking red face and throat, from far away (which is where you'll usually be looking at them), it's hard to tell them apart from other aerial feeders. One piece of advice the Bird Society of Singapore gives is that swallow species fold their wings back in flight. • For further reading and references:- • Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific... • Bird Society of Singapore: https://singaporebirds.com/species/pa... • E-Bird: https://ebird.org/species/pacswa1/ • == • Stream/DL via SoundCloud: / hirundojavanica • DAW (deprecated): https://www.bandlab.com/products/cake... • VSTis:- • Surge XT; lead synths (https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ ) • V-station; lead synths (https://downloads.novationmusic.com/n... ) • Synth1; pads (https://daichilab.sakura.ne.jp/softsy... ) • Dexed; keys, bass (https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ ) • Ample Guitar L (https://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.... ) • Steven Slate Drums 5.5; drumset (https://stevenslatedrums.com/ssd5/ ) • Spitfire LABS Piano: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/tape-p... • Spritework was made in Aseprite: https://www.aseprite.org/ • This track is distributed under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence. • https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
