Greater striped swallow nest

Hirundo cucullata

Notes:

This series shows the same swallows nest, each photo taken one day apart. It seems like something caused part of the nest to break off. There was some heavy rain on the evening that the photo was taken so it could have been washed away but there were also a lot of vervet monkeys running around and I thought perhaps they could have broken the nest open?
