The humorous results show them swooping into an old stable past an old sign for cigarettes, bearing a tagline suggesting the swallows "will not affect your throat".

He explains: "The swallows are flying into our stables to feed their second young of the year.

"I thought I'd add a little bit more colour to the image by having them fly in front on an old tin cigarette sign I had."

The RSPB say swallows prefer outbuildings which provide dark ledges and nooks and crannies for nesting.

The nimble birds are able to enter a building through a very small hole and need very little light.
