They have changed sides of our house this year. Shitting all over the path next to the front door, well that's when they manage to miss either of the white cills in direct line below the dungheap that they call home.
I love 'em and I'm pleased they've once again chosen to shoot on us

[QUOTE 4868817, member: 9609"]I have removed your quote from my post, I wouldn't want to see you get into grief.
You can control where they nest by dangling some pieces of string from the eaves athlought the RSPB advice is slightly different
https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-w...-z/h/housemartin/Preventing_from_nesting.aspx.
But do try and allow them to nest somewhere, they don't cause damage and the small amount of poo is easily cleaned up and a small price to pay for a truly wonderful interaction with nature. They are in massive decline 25 to 50% reduction in numbers over the past 25 years, sadly many people won't accommodate them and they struggle to find places to breed.[/QUOTE]
Whatever they are I will leave well alone, I had no idea about any of this. It was only a splatter of mud that fell down anyway, I stand corrected

We get swifts by us, I'm not sure where they are nesting. It wonderful watching them flying, though a bit disconcerting when they fly at you the turn away at the last minute.

We seem to have been plagued around our few houses for the last month or so, with small birds (white body with black wings and quite gobby), the bloody things are flying around here in there hundreds, and trying to build nests up under my roof/facias etc. Now they are doing it to everybody`s houses, and there is sh*t everywhere, and there are new nests every day when I get home.
We are surrounded by trees, why don`t they feck off and use those??
Never had this problem before, nor have I seen this type of bird before. Anybody know what they are??
There really aren't enough words to describe the utter contempt I have for twatts like you.
