The common swift can reach 220km/hr in a dive: http://www.commonswift.org/FAQ_english.html

This makes it one of Europe's fastest birds, capable of outflying even a peregrine or a hobby. Only the hobby can maneouvre fast enough to catch a swift.

By comparison the cruising speed of an (unladen!) (European) swallow is around 38km/hr. http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/
