    I have them nesting adj to my front door which is in an ideal southerly aspect, the various old rawl plug holes provide an ideal nesting option and they have been present for at least 10 years with generations reusing them.
    By the end of May the cycle appears to be over for another year and mud is used to block up the entrance also occasionally the odd leafcutter also uses these holes and leaf foilage is used to block access.
