Apus acuticauda

Winter records from NW Thailand indicate short-distance migration, although birds concerned possibly represent an unknown population. Recorded from Bhutan in springs of 1996 and 1997; not recorded from Andaman Is, and some doubts surround origin of Nepalese record. May be summer visitor only to breeding zone.
