Der Horussegler (Apus horus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Segler (Apodidae). Das Verbreitungsgebiet ist auf Afrika südlich der Sahara beschränkt. Die Tiere wirken im Vergleich zum verwandten, in Mitteleuropa häufigen Mauersegler kräftig, der Flug ist weniger elegant. Als Nistplätze werden Höhlen verwendet, die von anderen Vogelarten – vor allem von Bienenfressern – in sandige Wände gegraben wurden. Der Horussegler ist zumindest in Teilen seines Verbreitungsgebiets häufig und wird als ungefährdet eingestuft.[1]
Horus, an den der Name der Art erinnert, war ein Gott der frühen ägyptischen Mythologie.
Merkmale
Der Horussegler zählt mit einer Körperlänge von knapp 15 Zentimetern zu den kleineren Apus-Arten. Die Flügellänge liegt zwischen 143 und 161 Millimetern, das Gewicht beträgt durchschnittlich 26 Gramm. Die Gestalt ist im Vergleich zu den verwandten Seglern recht kräftig und ähnelt der des Hausseglers. Der recht große, helle Kehlfleck und insbesondere der weiße Bürzel bilden einen deutlichen Kontrast zum ansonsten dunkel grau-braun bis schwarzen Gefieder. Der Kehlfleck ist bei abgetragenem Gefieder weniger deutlich. ...

The Horus swift (Apus horus) is a small bird in the swift family. Horus, whose name this bird commemorates, was the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, son of Osiris and Isis.
Description
The Horus swift is 13–15 cm long and quite bulky. It appears entirely blackish except for a white patch on the chin and a white rump. It has a medium length forked tail. It has a fluttering flight like little swift. Little swift has a square tail, and more extensive white on the rump than Horus, and white-rumped swift has a more deeply forked tail and a narrower white band. The call is a buzzing peeeeooo, peeeeooo. The paler subspecies A. h. fuscobrunneus of southwestern Angola has a small grey throat patch and a brown rump. The form toulsoni of northwestern Angola and Zimbabwe is a dark morph of nominate A. h. horus, with a dark rump and small throat patch. Both dark forms have sometimes been split as separate species.
Distribution and habitat
The swift breeds in sub-Saharan Africa. It has an extensive continuous distribution from eastern and southern South Africa north to southern Zambia and central Mozambique, and has recently colonised the De Hoop Nature Reserve area of the Western Cape. It also occurs very discontinuously in much of the rest of the sub-Saharan region, with the Ethiopian mountains and the area from central Kenya into Uganda having large populations. Identification difficulties confuse the limits of this species’ range. Birds in South Africa are migratory, wintering further north. Other populations are resident apart from local movements. ...
