The study was carried out in Central Poland (52°15'N, 19°25'E) by all-day visual observation of five nests of Barn Swallows feeding their nestlings. Feeding frequency of older (age of 14-20 days) nestlings changed significantly with time of the day and was highest (46 visits/h) before noon, declining in the afternoon (21 visits/h) and after a slight increase during the early evening (25 visits/h)...
Egg dimensions in 551 complete clutches (2469 eggs) of the Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica in the central part of Poland in 1979-1981 and 1994 were studied. Mean length ranged 19.4-19.7 mm, breadth 13.5-13.8 mm, and volume 1.8—1.9 cm³. The length was not significantly different among years, but both the breadth and volume were. These mean egg dimensions were similar to those reported in a few other European...
