An abandoned hornets nest.
Thanks to Cheryl Dunlop Molin and ~~Chuck's~~Photos~~ for correcting me. This is a hornets nest not a bird nest.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird was sitting bravely while this big hornet was intimidating it for a second or two. It did not take much for the Hummingbird to scare him off ;) !
I noticed a few Hornets feeding on sap running from an old Oak tree. I returned later and drizzled some honey on the bark to keep them in one area to photograph them.
A pleasant enough afternoons jolly on Catcott heath with Steve Balcombe. The weather was making it hard work... Cloud, sun, cloud, sun, cloud, rain, sun... You get the idea.
A few bugs about, getting them to time their appearance with the sunshine was a little problematic... Still, a few made the effort. We had to make a dash to Tower hide at one point, as it looked like a good soaking was imminent, only to find the hide full of hornets... Well, when I say full, there were three in there, but it's a small hide...
This little lady was out on the heath and stayed still just long enough for me to shove the camera in her face and bag a couple of shots. I do love hornets, give me one over a common wasp any day. :@)
Sunny summer day. It's a sad story and definitely not one I like. But it's real and I only took the picture. Hornet and dragonfly.

Walking around my patch today Newton St Loe surprised to find a Lunar Hornet Moth on the path, my first so very excited to get a few pictures, no lure. You just never know what your gonna find!
From tonight's penumbral lunar eclipse, viewed from Alameda, CA. That's the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier.
Shot with the 645 A*600mm f/5.6 plus 1.4x teleconvertor. This is a composite to lower the position of the moon in the sky.
Hope you like it.
Hornets are the largest real wasps. On our ivy, which has been blooming for weeks, they suck nectar from the flowers. Between wasps, bees and incredibly pretty hoverflies, they are the dominant insects because of their size. The sweet scent of ivy magically attracts them. With coffee and cake on the terrace we enjoy the "humming"... with the camera nearby.

Die Hornisse (Vespa)
Hornissen sind die größten Echten Wespen. Auf unserem seit Wochen blühenden Efeu saugen sie Nektar von den Blüten. Zwischen Wespen, Bienen und unglaublich hübschen Schwebfliegen sind sie wegen ihrer Größe die dominanten Insekten. Der süße Duft des Efeu zieht sie magisch an. Bei Kaffee und Kuchen auf der Terrasse genießen wir das ,,Gesumme"...mit Kamera in der Nähe.
