Spider-hunting Wasp - a photo on Flickriver

            One of the great thing about having a garden "bee-hotel" is that it attracts lots of solitary wasp species too. This individual has completed a nest in one of the 2mm holes and is sealing it with mud. 

I think that it is one of the Trypoxylon spider-hunting species. I've had them using the small holes in previous years. Always great to see them. Hopefully I may get some shots of her returning with a spider.
