Swallow update #3

This morning I went to check on the 'house building activities' as soon as I got up, only to find the entire structure smashed to pieces on the floor!!! I have no idea how or why but it seems such a shame, all that perseverance and hard work for nothing. I can only imagine they will give up the unequal struggle now and that's the last we will see of them :o(

It's a real shame about the nest, they could still return and try building the nest again. You could try putting up a nest box designed for swallows, they look exactly like swallow's nest so it won't look out of place. Hopefully they should come back year after year.

I would love to see them come back but thus far there is no sign....maybe in a day or two. I'll try and get one of the boxes for them but I think it might be the wrong time of year to buy one. Towards the winter I may have more luck.
Had to clear up the remains this afternoon, felt proper sad :o(

Interesting. Sort of a metaphor for life in a sad sort of way.
