Weird stuff bothering you while you work.

[Big Ben]

Busy minding my own business yesterday, cutting back some conifer and this thing started flying round. Thought it was a dragon fly to start with but it landed on my glove and although its not a great picture you can tell its a preying mantis.

 

 

Weird things! I didn't know they could fly

I didn't know there were preying mantises in the UK.

I think he's in France!

[Beardie]

You don't get those in the UK. Have you had any asian giant hornets round your part of France?

That's nothing try the British wood pigeon when you've trashed it's nest

Had one visit me on Monday whilst connie bashing (topping) then looked down and saw two young in a nest a couple of feet below my line....thought we were out of nesting season!

I try to keep the voices at bay.

As for Hornets! They are always about, don't know if they are the Asian ones though. And did come across a nesting pigeon the other week. Clearing some Wysteria so the owners could close their shutters and this bloody great thing flew out of the Wysteria and started to make a fuss. So just cut enough for them to close up.
