There is a nest of what looks like Asian hornets forming in the dead limb scar of an oak tree off the pathway in danson park at the location shown.

Enter the gate via lakeside close, walk approx 75 yards to the first live oak tree set back off the road on the right, they hornets are nesting in a limb scar approx 8 feet off the ground facing the road. There is a potential danger to park users walking past as there is a lot of hornet activity around the new nest
