🐦Common Swift
Jerzyk (zwyczajny) (Apus apus) – gatunek średniego ptaka wędrownego z rodziny jerzykowatych (Apodidae). Zamieszkuje niemal całą Europę, dużą część Azji oraz północną Afrykę. Zimuje w południowej połowie Afryki. W Polsce średnio liczny ptak lęgowy, miejscami liczny. Występuje na terenie całego kraju – najliczniej w dużych miastach. W niektórych częściach kraju, głównie na wschodzie Polski oraz na Mazurach, gnieździ się też w starych lasach (Puszcza Knyszyńska, Puszcza Białowieska, Puszcza Augustowska, Wielkopolski Park Narodowy), a na południu – w skalistych partiach gór: Tatr, Karkonoszy i Gór Bystrzyckich oraz w Ojcowskim Parku Narodowym.
