A few weeks later I am delighted to discover the now-finished nest belongs to a lovely little swallow(s). Since the nest first appeared I'd been finding bird poop on my car and seeing a pair of little black birds shooting around the house, so am rather chuffed to find they have chosen to lodge with me.
Some nights ago I came home from Karate to find a black head poking over the nest, staring at me as I unlocked the front door. Owing to his nice reddish-orange facial markings I've named him Redbeard.

Once a bird also made a next on my window in Brazil on the third floor! We put a shoebox lid to help stopping the leaves falling down and the babies all grew up to be healthy and flew away after a few weeks ;) Good luck with your lodger :)
