Default Dec 11th - Wasps!?

Hi

The weather has been fairly mild here in Dublin. Today yet another wasp paid
us a visit. This is not to say we have a plague of them but in the past week
I've seen a few.

I suppose it's not really unusual given the lack of appreciative cold, wind
and/or rain lately. Anyone else pick up on this?

I've still got a number of leaves on the apple tree out back - green ones at
that. It is "pleasant" weather however I guess there'll be a bit of a shock
coming next week for one and all.


J.

Hi Joe - haven't seen wasps (yet) but have just been visted by a hedgehog,
recently taken up residence in my garden. This was taken only half an hour
ago.

Currently +6C and rising quickly:-)

Still the occasional but distinctly stunned wasp here in South Dorset,
they had been noticeable around certain non-fruit trees and on the grass
underneath ( why ?) until the end of November.

A decent day here at last - calm, misty and blue skies after days of
cool clag.

Regards,
Tom

Hi Lawrence - LOL now that one I did get, unlike the Balkan one - I think
my problem with that one was I was looking at the body of that post and not
the title. Keep 'em coming though:-)

Because that is where the nest is.

Yes. One at the gliding club (Moray) last weekend, and one in my mother's
sitting
room (Forfar) on Monday evening. Both wasps now RIP.

Very mild winter here in Lisburn, so far. I've yet to record an air-frost.
regards,
Alan.

Well I had to scrape the ice off the car this morning in Dorset, but then
I am closer to the continent than you :-(

Cheers, Alastair.
