Following various chores during the morning, including collecting a car load of plants from Pam for David’s new garden we decided to drive to a site in Folkestone for the recently arrived Blue-winged grasshopper. We parked on the side road just off the roundabout and walked along the path westwards. We met up with Dylan and Rob, who had seen one near a pylon across the path, that jumped into the grass so we spent a bit of time wandering around, finding a few grasshoppers and eventually, Dylan called us over for one that had hopped up out of the grass onto a bit of fencing. A few more were found by walking through the grass and,as long as they weren’t disturbed, they would sit on the path for a while, allowing some better photographs.
A very successful trip for a new species.
