El avión zapador (unos 14 g) es la más pequeña de las golondrinas europeas. Excava galerías de hasta 90 cm en taludes de arena para anidar, formando colonias a veces de miles de parejas. Se alimenta de insectos que caza al vuelo sobre el agua. Migra al África subsahariana en invierno. Las colonias de cría dependen de la disponibilidad de taludes de arena desnuda —cortados fluviales, canteras— y de la abundancia de insectos sobre el agua. Las poblaciones fluctúan considerablemente entre años.
