In the evenings for the last week or so when the night has drawn in and I’ve put on the outside light these huge hornets or wasps have made their way through the now open door close to the outside light. 2 this evening and I’ve managed to catch and release. Hoping that these are individuals and the same one coming back in 😆. Tho k I may have a nest close but can anyone identify? They have bright yellow “noses”!

Looks like a hornet - possibly European

Apologies for the very long link (don't know what happened there) - it just links to a google image search
