Greetings from Jerusalem, whose holy sites host some of the oldest colonies of nesting swifts

Jerusalem's holy sites host some of the oldest known colonies of nesting swifts. The scythe-winged birds have established their nests within the cracks and crevices of the Western Wall and other sacred locations throughout the city.

According to reports, these bird populations have inhabited the ancient structures of Jerusalem for thousands of years, becoming a long-standing part of the city's historical and architectural landscape.
