I Just can't decide if this is a nomad type wasp or a sawfly, any help appreciated. Thanks Rockwolf for getting me to the sawfly ID.

More of a record shot, one of the adults, we could hear the young ones screeching away a few metres up the cliff face in the Gorse. I was well pleased to see this bird, I knew we had a nesting pair every year but had never gotten more than a glimpse in the sky!

This lovely lady was hiding in the bracken, came up onto the fence briefly for this shot, looks young and has a rather long tail. Meadow Pipit maybe? Update: Thanks to Rockwolf for the ID on this one.

We spent over an hour at this site watching these amazing wasps, I've got a small series of photos still yet to put up of one with prey, they hunt small flies, and a video of one digging!
