We have a pair of swans set up shop this month. It’s great to watch the progress of the nest.

I can tell you from personal experience that they can get nasty if you get near their nest. A pair set up a nest next to the local walking trail - chased quite a few walkers

I'm not planning on getting anywhere near them while they're nesting. Normally you can get within 2 feet of them no problem.
 
Think shes starting to lay, lots of time sat on the nest while the other is patrolling the pond.

Well, during their lunch I sneaked across and adjusted the cam. She's got an egg!

Very cool!
Outside my study window there is a large hibiscus that the robins build a nest in every year. In the past I have set up my dslr on a tripod next to the window with an intervalometer to take an image every minute. This year I hope to set up a video camera that is triggered by motion.

Wow, that is pretty impressive.
