It suddenly went quiet - no wasp activity for a week or so ...
No idea why, I thought the wasps would still be there until the autumn.
Is this likely to be full of baby wasps?
If so, when are they likely to emerge?

Weaverbirds build a big apartment house of nests, usually on acacia trees and sometimes even on telephone poles. Next time you see such a beautiful tree with big huge nests made by weaverbirds, and you see knee high dried grass underneath, STAY AWAY !!!
Apparently, in this thick grass live the yellow cape cobras.
A cape cobra is the smallest, non-spitting true cobra in Africa but it has the most toxic venom. It is extremely agile, easily climbing acacia trees to raid weaver birds' nests...
During the evening sundowner tour, the guide told us about the waeaverbirds' nests and the cape cobras underneath. I turned to stone when I heard that. How STUPID could I be !!!!!!
This hummingbird decided to build her nest on our back porch. So, now, whenever I go outside I am in fear of being divebombed! There is one egg in the nest but I've read that hummingbirds often lay two so I'll keep checking. I think it's an Anna's Hummingbird which is the most common species around here. They're year-round residents and love all the feeders that our landlord keeps out.
We've put in a webcam and have started live streaming. The 2 eggs *should* hatch around 4/16 or so. You can see the live stream here: www.ustream.tv/channel/california-hummingbird
I photographed this beautiful Egret flying with sticks to repair its nest...damaged in a Florida thunderstorm in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
This year we are planning to hook up a webcam to spy down into the nesting area of our two most nearby resident Herring Gulls.
I'm currently creating this housing which will keep the weather out from the webcam.
This entire rig will peer over the edge into the nest which is about 7 foot below.
Sorry, you must be getting bored of me posting gannets- I promise I will not post all 200ish of my photos of them!!!
Black-crested Coal Tits at their nesting hole in a forest near Narkanda, Himachal.
In harsh conditions, like snow-covered high altitude forests, raising a brood can be a difficult task for this small songbird, as their typical food - insects, invertibrates, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc - can be difficult to come by. The unusually cold and snowy march of this year would have made their task even tougher.
Skimmer nests on Deveaux Bank - it seems a Boat-tailed Grackle had disturbed the skimmers and many took flight.

Our pet duck, Alexander, would make nests and once laid 13 eggs before we found it. I recently discovered this negative, taken during 1937 with an Argus AF.If we found the nest soon enough, Mother would use the eggs in cakes. Sometimes they were green before we found the nest. She got rather scruffy looking after being on the eggs.
With no male available the egs, of course, never hatched.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."
– Matthew 13:31f, which is part of today's Gospel for the 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

this osprey was starting to build a nest on a channel marker. (The nest in the background is another osprey pair)
These nests are seen in great abundance in Kenya. The weaver birds make many decoy nests to confuse predators.
