This brings to mind an incident that happened this spring. Sue and I were staying in a cottage near the Elan Valley in Wales. Under the cottage was an open fronted store in which swallows were nesting. As it was a hot day, when we came in for some tea we left the door open. I went to the loo and whilst I was washing my hands I heard Sue call "There's a bird in the room." As I came out a swallow whizzed past my nose and out of the front door. It was almost certainly looking for a nest site. They don't miss a trick!
