WASPS MOVE IN AS SUNBIRDS DEPART

The abandoned Sunbird nest on the back verandah is starting to  disintegrate , but  busy wasps, in numbers , are  buzzing about ,  making   mud  nests in  various locations .


The nests shown below are  near a sliding  window , seven  in  a line underneath   the  nearby  windowsill . Other nests have been built under the roofing iron in clusters .  


A nest in  the early stages of construction up against a wall , looking like  a potter's creation ,  is  featured below  , followed  by  the  trailing  piece  of  the intricate  Sunbird  nest  which  fell  off , revealing  component  parts .
