I will have to take a photo if that is possible - they move so fast.

For the past few weeks they have been coming into the patio area and pulling down spider webs I gathered it was for nest building - can you ask your Mum if my thoughts are correct please?Jacanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513334604229516673noreply@blogger.com
