Willing and able to get a picture of it, so we can see the situation?

Just get the pro's in.
It's really not something worth messing with yourself, IMO.

Unless you get it all on camera

Yep, actually you're right with the caveat

@Donald can you post a picture, mate?

OK I drokking misjudged this one

It just fell off and rotated and this thing is, I would guess, around 75-100 cm diameter. It looked a lot smaller from the hatch. Also found two starter nests/hibernating queens in other places in the loft (little golf ball things).

Went up armed with a cardboard box and a pair of tights over my head à la beekeeper outfit. It fell off the roof, I heard a lot of crawling activity, got a bit closer to take a picture and got the drokk out.

Apparently the council will come and sort it for £67 but I'm half tempted to give it a go... I reckon I could get to the main bulk and get it in a heavy duty bin bag before they go mental, it's just the bit still attached that has me concerned

My plan was to get a bag around it then knock it off but it has fallen off before I got the chance.

I am afraid that I chuckled at the image conjured by you with tights over your head

I think I'd have rather seen the tights on the head pic for sure!

No I had the box first, then tights over the whole lot sort of like this hazmat.
