Top Llan - late post

I photographed this wasp up Top Llan a few days ago, I initially thought it might be a common wasp but didn't look quite right so I put it on Irecord. It turns out that my doubts were well founded as it turns out to be a Norwegian Wasp. Paul Tabor has already had a few records down the lower end of the valley but its new for me. [Even later post - I was back up there on the 31 July, so I did a count of wasps feeding on Hogweed knowing now what I'm looking for and came out as thus - 114 Tree Wasp, 28 Norwegian Wasp, 6 Common Wasp.]
