If you want to see wasps, go to Coles Lane Sutton Coldfield, house before the gully to Ebrook Rd - there is a HUGE wasps next hanging out of the tree with about 3 gazillion wasps flying around it. Big enough for me and the dogs to cross to the other side of the road yesterday!

Drove past Villa Park last night and stopped to get a few photos in the gloom of the North Stand development from Witton Lane:- It was only when I looked closely that I noticed a wall of the original 1960's Witton Lane (now the Doug Ellis) stand emerging - this stand was extended by adding a...

The little buggers have been in Sutton Coldfield for a couple of years now - a few at first nested in a tree next to the Newhall Valley Park boardwalk where I took the photos below - now they are everywhere - a whole flock of them flew over us a few weeks ago:-
