Bit blurry I'm afraid

I'm not sure TB but without a word of a lie, I have one of those in my shed, I will take a pic and show you tomorrow, I haven't discovered what lives in it yet.....will get back to you.....how weird you posted this as a quiz.....good one though

Is it some kind of wasps nest.?
WS

It better not be WS ive checked mine a couple of times but not seen anything or seen anything in the shed that gives me a hint. When I get in from work tonight I will take the photo and post it.

Good question - my first guess would have been a wasps nest, but i could be wrong.

Lai

Theres more than one type of wasp LW, and most of them dont sting, it just seems to me to be that type of a nest. Looks like we will have to wait for TB to sovle the mystery.
WS

OH Flip, wasps or spiders wouldn't be good, why cant it be a very small bird

Not very good pics but heres my little whatever



Oh my lord now i've got the picture I think I can see eggs or something in there



I hope TB answers this quiz quick co I want that out of my shed toot sweet.

It is indeed a solitary wasp,not to be feared,just consider yourself lucky to have one

Yes but TB are those eggs in there that will hatch into more and do I have to leave that nest there......its spooky

littlewid-x-

I have googled the nest LW, could be a few things ?. Perhaps TB has some more info on it
WS

Thanks WS...dont freak me out with loads of possibilities, its bad enough thinking its a wasp with eggs, I need to know if I can get rid of it whatever it is....gives me the shivvers.

Another "wee" quiz,no googling......



You'll have to wait for the answer till after the weekend as I'm off line till then.

Mmmm OK TB will think on that one....at least we have a few days to think about it.....have a good few days and catch you when you are back with us.

I know blueberries grow on bushes but not this small. There are so many berry varieties, hmmmmmm.

Loganberry???

SM

littlewid-x-

I'm not berry good on plants thats Mrs S's job
WS

What are you like WS.....You'll have TB after you

littlewid-x-

V is next to B on the key board it was a mistake honest
WS

WS, Not sure if that will wash with TB though.....he may set you an independent quiz.....be warned

Weird - i posted this yeaterday evening but can't have pressed 'send'

Is it Blackthorn? i think the berries are too shiny for Blackthorn but i may as well guess

Lai

Mrs S is going with blueberry so if it's wrong it's not my fault
WS

It's in the blueberry family.............Billberry,also known as Blaeberry in Scotland or Whimberry in the Lake District.Very low to the ground,a staple part of food for the Grouse family.Find these and try one or two,much stronger taste than the cultivated Blueberry.
Can I suggest would be forragers get a good book to take with them,just so you don't poison yourselves.I use "Food for free" by Richard Mabey,there's a nice little pocket sized version from Collins gem.

Not too difficult


Not the usual image,trying to make it a little harder.

Okay, now i am embarassed we saw them whilst in the Cairngorms - Bilberry thanks TB
