Hatching success is 90% and the fledging survival rate is 70–90%. Average mortality is 70–80% in the first year and 40–70% for the adult. Although the record age is more than 11 years, most survive less than four years. - source - Turner, Angela K; Rose, Chris (1989). Swallows & martins: an identification guide and handbook.

Has anyone else noted this, or the nest-clearing phenomenon described by our editor?
