We saw giant wasps a couple of years ago on a public footpath in Berkswell. Feeding on flowers.They didn't bother us but they were hugsI would say 3 cos and fat.

Don't know about today but people seemed to do several jobs then. I had 2 when I was saving up for a car. Some of the women in my family had three.

We usually get a few they are reluctant to fly. Not seen any this year. Not many insets at all. Saw a big wasp. Not many bees other than hover flies it is worrying, quite a few butterflies though.

I like a cover if it has a different take on it, if you know what I mean. But not rip offs.

My mum liked them she said I love the modern fashions you can wear what you like.

We know where one is. But the squirrel lives there too in a row of fir trees and pigeons. I was dive bombed by them in my youth they nested in our garage. On top of the lawn mower. So we had to leave the door open.

I have just watched the blackbird drive off the squirrel across three gardens dive bombing and pecking. Not noisy though, has anyone seen this before? Usually they tolerate each other.
