UNUSUAL NEST SITES

While attending a wedding at a small church hall in rural North Yorkshire I noticed two unusual nest locations.

 

A pair of swallows, which were on eggs, had nested inside the porch of the hall (first two images) while a pair of blue tits had small chicks in a crack in a wall next to the rear door.

 

Both pairs carried on as normal, despite over 60 people spending about five hours in and around the hall.

 

I took these images the next day and can confirm the birds were none the worse for the wedding party, indeed they appear to take it in their stride as the hall is often busy with events of all kinds.
