Not Welcome


Sid The Slow Worm has obviously found alternative accommodation and I wish him well. Now, Will The Wasp has moved in. He's on my inside window sill. He was there all day yesterday just staring at me. But we got on alright. He doesn't move at all. He was still there in the same position this morning. There's no way this photo shows his size but he is huge. Is this a wasp? Surely it's too early for a wasp

Get him out? I can't. This window doesn't open meaning I'd have to scoop him up into something and take the risk, moving acroos the room to a door or a window that open and give him a chance to survive in the fresh air.

He's still there. I know Will is alive because we make eye contact. If he was dead he'd crumple in a heap and wither.

If he isn't in the same place tomorrow morning I shall worry. That will mean he is still here - in a nook or a cranny in this old cottage.

Is it a Wasp?

Perhaps it's a 'she' - a queen - looking for somewhere to build a nest - in your home. I'd get rid of it, if I were you.

Worried now. Can't find 'her'

I hope you have found that wasp?

I don't want to find it Blasted Songbird. Not in my house anyway.


Do you like the Dawn Chorus?

Sorry - Blasting!!!!!

Blasting Songbirds said...

I think I prefer Blasted Songbird anyway.

More apt?

I don't want to worry you too much, and I am not sure that it is a queen wasp, but they do come out of hibernation at this time of the year. I'm sure it will have woken up fully and flown off to build a nest elsewhere.
