ALGECIRAS
(Photo: EuropaSur) A colony of some 500 Pallid Swifts (Apus Pallidus, or Vencejo Pálido in Spanish) has been causing chaos for several weeks, flying out of control over Avenida Virgen del Carmen. The reason: their nesting places at the parking area in the port terminal building and to which this species return year after year, have been covered up. The birds are particularly active in the morning and evening, and have been invading apartments on the avenue in search of their nests, crashing into windows. The Cigüeña Negra Ornithological Society warned about this when the plans for the heliport were announced. However, ithas been decided that the covers will be removed, though no date is given.
