BROWN BUSH CRICKET

In an undisclosed site in Kent where we were looking for the British colony of American Bullfrogs, yes you read that correctly, two things impressed me...

Walking along a footpath I turned to my brother Ryan and said "can I hear a bloody Grasshopper?!" to which he smile and said yes and I then replied "..but its late October for Christ sakes?!"

WHat then impressed me still was that my brother recognised the species from its call?! Only realising this when he eventually spotted one and I took a few shots of it, despite initially disturbing the branches like a clumsy oaf and the cricket disappearing for a few minutes?!

He then later managed to grab it and I was able to get some close up shots.
