Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)

Love it when birds are predictable. This guy was building a nest under the new Nature Center. He kept going back and forth to this muddy area for material! Just set up in the right light and wait a couple of minutes and presto here he is! lol! At Huntington Beach State Park, SC

LOL... I think you had him on a bit of string Bob!!!

That's a super picture my friend - an excellent job and got him really gleaming in the sunlight too. So you obviously did choose the right place to set up.
