The birds often perch in pairs. Based on the length of the tail streamers and the colour of the throat, I think these are male (left) and female (right).
They tilt their heads back and forth, searching for flying insects.

Female (right) and male on nest.
Male delivering a feed of fish to female (having earlier eaten its head).
Female flies off to eat her share elsewhere.
A nearby pole serves as a convenient lunch spot.

She carefully places the new branch in just the right position.
Home renovations take a lot of effort!
