User's notes
Wasp, or multiple wasps of this variety have been seen building a nest in the front of our home. One nest is on the outside wall, while I suspect there is a nest being built under the eaves as the wasps are seen entering the roof space through a small gap above the garage door. they are quite active at the moment and are seen arriving and departing at very regular intervals. (Apologies the picture is not great as they move pretty quickly and do not settle for very long.
