Median Wasp in Gorseinon
A beautiful queen Median Wasp (Dolichovespula media) was on the flowers of Cotoneaster horizontalis outside the kitchen window along with a couple of Tree Bumble-bees (Bombus hypnorum), a few Early Bumble-bees (B. pratorum) and a gang of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera). My only other observation of Median Wasp in the county was also in the garden, but back in 2006 when was was watched feeding on Globe Thistle. Hope to grab an image if she returns...

Nice one Barry. I had to look it up to see what it looks like and it is very striking. I'll certainly be on the lookout for one and hopefully won't have to wait too long. NBN gateway only has it in one other 10km square for Glamorgan so a very nice record as well.
