Dubai Swifts

While walking in BurDubai earlier today by the Dubai Museum I saw hundreds of swifts above - I think they are Common Swifts (Apus apus) because of it overall colour and roundish whitish throat-patch (as compared to more triangular white throat-patch on the Pallid Swift)

Below is a snap of the birds as the swoop down between the minaret of the grand mosque and the roof of the fort.


And below is a small video clip showing the commotion above busy Bur Dubai caused by these tiny fellows.
