The hornet is no more :O{

Hi,
Well after days of deliberating how to rid our selves of the squatter in the garden, she has gone!
I took the cowards way out [was too scared to re-home the whole nest] and waited until she left for her morning flyover and snipped the branch off with the nest and put it in the green wheelie bin.
She came back and was needless to say a little put out that her babies had disappeared but at least she will hopefully be able to start again somewhere away from me!
Had a look in the nest and it was full of eggs so I'm glad I got rid of it

Reported to RSPCA. How cruel !!!!! Ha Ha

Well she lives to tell the day! She will be happy and you are happy that she is safe and so are you!!

I have to admit the swallows started building their nest ontop of my porch light again this year and I can't face another year of them pooping over the front door and only using the back door!! Not nice for visitors. Anyway I blocked off the area concerned and have left them the whole of the porch which is enclosed and has lots of lovely beams and nooks and crannies they can use. They had only just started building and they can start again. They are divebombing me now when I use the front door - angry perhaps!

Morning Redman!

[LoftyLottie]

That should have said 'she lives to tell the tale'. Oh dear, old age!

[divegirl]

I know how you feel LL, the back door was left firmly shut until she finally realised it had gone....much to the hounds annoyance....lol

Redman, you should have said you were such an animal lover...I could have posted her and her brood to you for you to look after ;o}

Hello LoftyLottie ! That's nice about the swallows as you will be able to follow their progress until they fly away for another Year....

wont those eggs hatch? watch out when you next open the green wheelie bin.

[redman41]

My Postman would probably have taken great delight in delivering a live Hornet and brood in a 'Special Delivery' package divegirl ! Ha Ha

[divegirl]

Ahhhh, this is where I'm clever 4get.....the green bin was emptied by the council not more than an hour later!!!!
