Spider-hunting Wasp
One of the great thing about having a garden "bee-hotel" is that it attracts lots of solitary wasp species too. This individual has completed a nest in one of the 2mm holes and is sealing it with mud.
I think that it is one of the Trypoxylon spider-hunting species. I've had them using the small holes in previous years. Always great to see them. Hopefully I may get some shots of her returning with a spider.
