Foliage roosting in the Australian Swiftlet (Aerodramus terraereginae) in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland

The Australian Swiftlet (Aerodramus terraereginae) forages on the wing in daylight and roosts in colonies in inland and coastal boulder piles and in inland limestone caves at night. There are no previous records of foliage roosting by this species, or by any member of the Collocaliini. Here, we report five observations of foliage roosting by the Australian Swiftlet.
