Have there being any new sightings or reports of the Asian hornet this year in England/Scotland or Wales.
I read something back in July where some have been found on the island of Jersey. But have any queens from the nests located last year survived.

Its a link from last week about a nest on Jersey. Not seen much else apart from the stray that was found in the central belt of Scotland.
