Reckon you're a fruit expert do you Keith? It's a sultana!

Thanks for the generous comments though. Much appreciated.

Fabulous shot Ed

Thanks for the comment Chris - appreciated. Having studied my insect books and via Google; I suspect that this is a Vespula germanica male (drone). Facial markings can be variable in the males apparently. It's definitely not the Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris).
