Our new neighbour

See if you can locate the world's smallest bird house in this picture...


This was a gift from Tom and Laura following its brutal rejection from their wedding favour shortlist and now makes an attractive little decoration for our balcony.  We were hoping to wake up one morning to find a blue tit's bum sticking out of it following a mis-judgement on potential nest sites.  Alas, we have resorted to accepting its mere ornamental status.

However, as I was munching my lunch today I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye, only to watch a small creature enter the teeny house.  Surely not I hear you cry.  But yes, this splendid little gimic has now become the nesting ground of what I can only assume is a solitary bee...


She is in and out of there pretty quick but I know it isnt a wasp (phew) and maybe it is a Red Mason Bee?
