Swift Research. Swifts, in particular White-throated Needletails, are threatened by the logging of old growth forests in Japan where they breed. Late in spring they migrate to Australia, to spend the summer hawking for insects high above our cities, plains and forests. Please report any sighting of Needletails to Michael Tarburton, who is coordinating counts of needletails to see how the world population is faring.
