Nicely framed leaf! They may be awkward little critters, but its added character to this photo so they can't be all bad :0)

Well, the rascally varmints...
Isn't nature a wonderful thing, and isn't this just a lovely photograph.

I love the way they cut perfect little circles to create their leafy tube shaped nests (at least that is the shape ours make here!). Gorgeous lighting in this pretty shot. V
