Common swifts are [[bird migration|migratory]]. Their summer breeding range runs from Portugal and Ireland in the West across to China and Siberia in the East. They breed as far south as Northern Africa (in Morocco and Algeria), with a presence in the Middle East in Israel, Lebanon and Syria, the Near East across Turkey, and the whole of Europe as far north as Norway, Finland, and most of sub-Arctic Russia. Swifts migrate to Africa by a variety of routes, ending up in Equatorial and Sub-Equatorial Africa, excluding the Cape. Common swifts do not breed on the Indian Subcontinent. Outside of their normal range, they are rare [[Vagrancy (biology)|vagrants]] in [[North America]], with records mostly originating from the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], however; it has also been recorded in [[Bermuda]] and [[Greenland]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chantler |first1=Philip |last2=Boesman |first2=Peter F.
