About Alpine Swift
The Alpine swift formerly Apus melba, is a species of swift. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek takhus, "fast", and marptis, "seizer". The specific name melba comes from ‘melano-alba' or ‘mel-alba'; Eigenhuis & Swaab posited that ‘melba' might be a short form for ‘melano-alba' or ‘mel-alba'.
