Hornet

HornetA Hornet - possibly a male. Hornets are having an interesting year - they are usually over by now (13 Nov 2006), the queens having gone into hibernation and the males and workers having died - but this year there are a number of late records of Hornets. That said, it is feeding on ivy flowers, so this could have been some weeks ago. Stuart Hine.
