Observation details
Flying in a mixed flock with Asian palm swifts and red-rumped swallows over the pond. Initially thought it was the dusky crag-martin but the lack of the white tails spots ruled out the species. Merlin has identified it from the photos as Indian Swiftlet. It seems a distinct possibility as the mixed flock was flying over the pond and the feeder stream flowing into the reservoir from the hills in the north.
