Saw a pair of barn swallows outside my house just a little while ago. I don't usually see them I think, so it was nice. Sadly, my video of their activity was pretty short and not very good :(
looks like they hung aroundπ
(at least, I think it's the same pair. I'm not great at telling them apart within a species)
I think they're actually resting in the covered space before my front door. I'm surprised there's any comfort in that for them, but glad if there is.
yep, they are definitely nesting here. apparently a law protects them. I don't mind although I'm worried a call bit about parasites, so I'll probably remove the nest after they've raised their brood for the season

If you're worried about bugs, you probaby want to keep them around. They eat tons of flying insects.
