Damn these are very hard to photogrpah..they hardly ever stop flying..This one was almost constantly flying around picking other insects off the flowers and in flight and taking them back to the nest i presume. After following this one around for a while it finally stoped for about 4 seconds..out of 4 shots this was the best.

Good capture Alistair.

Looks like a hornet to me, but I'm no expert. Difficult to tell with a head-on view.
