At present, the cliff swallow has entered the breeding period, and the reporter used a 96-frame high-speed camera to record the spectacular scene of the return of the swallow. Cliff swallows nest in groups, usually dozens of nests together, and there are hundreds or hundreds of nests together, and the nest holes are one after the other, close to each other. Usually nesting on sandy cliffs on the banks of rivers or lakes, male and female adult birds take turns to make nests with their mouths chiseled in the sandy cliffs, and the nests are horizontal tunnels with a depth of 0.5-1.3 meters.
In China, the cliff swallow is mainly a resident bird, and only a few are migratory birds, which need to be migrated.
