| Abstract: | A specimen of a White-rumped Swift Apus caffer was recently noted in a local collection of stuffed birds. It was dated but had not been identified. This species has never been recorded in Malta. The specimen in question had been shot on 25 May 1974 at Il-Faqqanija. It was among a loose flock of about 200 Swifts Apus apus. |
