Description

This "little" critter flew into my room a few days ago making a lot of noise. At first I thought "Bloody hornets", after looking at the time thinking it's a bit late at night for hornets to be buzzing around this promptly landed on my desk, I was surprised to say the least as I haven't seen one of these in 10-13 years. While it was resting a while on my pen I managed to nab a few photos, this being the best one. Pity they aren't more common, though forest and orchard owners might disagree.
