Potter wasp nest

Westport area

Made of clay and affixed to a rock. It is very decorative! All this made by small wasps carrying mouthfuls of mud, a tiny bit at a time. Perseverance!

Wow, I am surprised as by the thumbnail I thought I was looking at something knitted. Excellent find and capture Christine!
