HANZAB (Vol. 7, p. 434) gives the following
comments on nest desertion by White-browed Woodswallows: "Nests deserted after
severe windstorm (author). Liable to desert clutch if nest close to frequent
disturbance (author). Birds with active nests will desert clutches when rest of
colony leaves breeding area (authors)."
At least the 'writers-to-be' have now some
background information/references.
