A hornet

I forgot to mention that while on holiday, I met this magnificent hornet. It retreated to begin with, but then came out to be photographed in a sunbeam.

Then I opened the door and it flew away making a rich deep buzzing noise, like a small propeller driven aeroplane.

I am not a fan of flying stinging buzzy things, but that is beautiful!

It's so fuzzy! Are your hornets always fuzzy like that? It's like... a bumble-hornet!

When they're sitting still, I think they're really intriguing. When they noisy-buzz around me, I'm terrified.

Fabulous shots!

I've been trying & failing to get an aerial shot of a hornet for years - they are so beautiful in the sunshine...
