“Swifts don’t make these flights alone. They ascend as flocks every evening before singly
drifting down, while in the morning they fly up alone and return to earth together. To
orient themselves correctly, to make the right decisions, they need to pay attention not
only to the cues of the world around them but also to one another.” – Helen Macdonald,
Vesper Flights, 2020
