You go down they leave and as soon as you walk away, here they come again. Love watching them come and go, and hearing the wings as they go by, but could do without the poo!

I do everything I can to discourage them when they show up. The trick is to drive them away as soon as they arrive. If you wait an hour or so they think they own the place! I installed some flashing yellow lights a couple of months ago but the jury is still out on whether they are effective. The true test will be next spring when they come in to nest.
