    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Yuk, I can't stand them, but well spotted anyway. When we lived in Africa the sound of grasshoppers were all we could hear once it had gone dark.

    I would agree with you there Rolf. It was in fairly long grass along the estuary. Have corrected the name in the title.Thank you

    I don't mind them Babs I used to cup my hand in front of them and they would leap right into it .
    Don't any more. Grown up a little since then
