Barn swallows build their nests inside stables, barns, warehouses, archways and garages. If you see Swallows breeding inside buildings they are very probably Barn Swallows. It is important to ensure that the Birds have constant access during the breeding period (e.g. through a window left ajar, ventilation pipe or open stable door). The Barn Swallow is very faithful to a habitat and returns each year to the nesting site from its winter roost and around 60 to 90 % of the Central European birds also breed a second time each year.
