I've only ever heard these called "paper wasps", always have lots of them in my yard. This one got irritable with me and attacked my lens after a few shots

Cool shots. Might be a European Wasp, not sure, but looks a bit like one I have shot before in So. Cal.

Good ones - agree looks like a European paper wasp though I've not seen one in the UK.
