They were clumsy at night; bumping into me as I passed. When the nest was at the end of its life in autumn and the hornets had dies and the females had hibernated, I took the nest and sliced it in two on the bandsaw. It's amazing inside. If you're interested, you can see the pics here: http://www.thethriftymagpiesnest.co.uk/2015/01/can-you-tell-what-it-is.html<br /><br />Hopefully you will catch a picture of one next time!<br /><br />Jenni <br /><a href="http://www.thethriftymagpiesnest.co.uk//" rel="nofollow">The Thrifty Magpies Nest</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483954502524381810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-1231191732777949972016-05-29T13:24:59.018-07:002016-05-29T13:24:59.018-07:00Thank you everyone, I just keep practicing.Thank you everyone, I just keep practicing.Simon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-90977499386817159652016-05-29T10:41:47.083-07:002016-05-29T10:41:47.083-07:00Silver ys are tricksy things to photograph at the ...Silver ys are tricksy things to photograph at the best of times :-).
