| | | Amazing Cobwebs
A local roadside hedgerow has developed a most remarkable mass of cobwebs, the like of which I have never seen before.
Any ideas what has produced this - are they spiders' webs, or some other insect? Any comments most welcome:
This shows the general view of the hedgerow:  And here are more detailed shots of the webs:    
Location is north Nottinghamshire |

I took some pictures of gorse bushes completely covered a few years ago and wondered what was making the webs.
