Swallow

Cluiche iascairi · 2016-03-26 12:03:18

I've noticed a swallow going in and out of my shed the past 2 days.. Would it have a nest built already? Could I block the hole its getting in through or should I leave it off now until after summer? I like to see the birds nesting around, but they destroy everything in droppings and frighten the life out of other half…

Thought it was a bit early myself but it's in and out every few minutes
