A friend found a baby common swift on the ground, he let us have it and now we are on a quest to try and save it. These beasts are quite wonderful, they fly for months in a row, only touching the ground to breed like once a year. Saving this chick will probably be very hard as they are quite sensitive to human fungi and bacteria and they can't damage their wings or feathers in the least.
Anyhow first step for tomorrow morning: see if we can find the proper food (crickets, wax moth larvaes, bee drones) here in Madrid.
I'm going to document the process and put some pictures. Hopefully all will go well and we'll see how he flies away in 4 or 5 days or so. If not, we at least informed ourselves and did what we could.
PS: This site seems to be a wonderful place to learn about this amazing bird.

Hey!
Hello folks.
It's known that the only way to get better at something is by doing it. So, this is my first (in truth, like my fourth, but let's pretend for literary sake) attempt at getting better at expressing written thoughts.
Sadly, another requirement to express better thoughts in writing is to have thoughts in the first place and in that department I'm kind of lacking. My mind is so quiet I'm the envy of zen practitioners. But, going back to the first phrase, this will serve me to practice thinking as well.
Speaking of thoughts, I wonder, will any people get here without any publicity at all, if so, how? Why are you reading this? Would you like to comment? Need I publicize this to get an audience? Please, leave me a note saying how did you end up here.
See you, probably after holidays... or before, who knows.
