Hi everyone,I'm another newbee from Essex tonight,found your site by accident whilst looking for hawthorn jelly recipes!! Actually,totally off the subject,we are being hassled big time at the moment by our neighbours lovely Hornets.They arrived a while ago and seemed to be keeping to themselves,(the Hornets that is,our neighbours are great!)but have just started trying to get in every night!! Think they are attracted to the light,but when they get in they go mad,and my other half has a wasp phobia!! He is talking about getting pest control in,but we have to wait til our neighbours get back from holiday,as they are nesting in their extension!! It seems really sad to have to do this,so anyone got any good ideas for ousting them peacefully?? Cathy x |

Hi Ruth welcome aboard. Bats have become a bit of a facination with me too over the last month or so. They aren't actually in the garden but circle above us and the neighbours. Enjoy the site now you have found us and I hope to see you around |

Thank you all for such a lovely welcome....and hello to Cathy too!
I am actually in Harlow, not far from the Herts border.
I have an 8 1/2 year old son Joshua who today, in spite of the rain, decided we would feed the ducks on the River Stort!!! We had a really good time though.... |

Hello Ruth and welcome. Enjoy the bats, my partner looks on them as mice with wings. We had them in our garden at our old house and they did no harm. Could never find where they roosted though. |

Hello Ruth
Welcome to WAB from another Essex WABer.
There are a few Essex folk here now I am pleased to say .
I am just down the M11, around the M25 and along the A127 from you .... not the best wildlife route in the County but you can occasionally see Kestrels, Barn Owls and Fallow Deer.
