Hello all - obviously some sort of wasp, I know, but what sort? Is it a mason wasp?    |

Afternoon Jez,
Yes, a Mason Wasp and possibly Ancistocerus sp. ( Vespidae; Eumeninae).
Take care, Jason  |

Well... pattern-wise it matches one of mine keyed-out to Ancistrocerus gazella, but a lot of work is based around the keeled-furrow by the sternites, and pilosity of the antennal scape so could be one of several, depending. |

Yup...
Right, it may be one of the most common of the wasps, but to know for sure you'd need to turn him over and look at the second under-side segment of his abdomen, or the degree of pitting on the first, longest segment of his antenna among other stages. | | |
