For those that might not have wandered by the wildlife forum, look what I had setting up residence in my shed on the plot!

They are also here in Herts !  :o

Came back from home to find one buzzing around in the kitchen and one of the dogs was very interested and too close for comfort ! 

Hubby grabbed a glass - caught it and dispatched it outside !

:o ;)

Only ever seen hornets once in my garden, In that long hot summer in 2003. There were loads, feasting on the nectar of a hebe.

Not sure if I want them permanently in residence though. Wasps are bad enough.  :(
