One thing you have to be careful of on the allotment, is where you put your feet. Not because the local cats might have left a deposit, but because the grasshoppers might end up underfoot!
This one jumped onto the rhubarb leaves as I was walking past, and I spotted the next one on a small patch of weeds and grass that I was about to stand on. It certainly pays to walk slowly, so they get a chance to hop out of the way!
One response to “Hopping around on the allotment”
Maybe you’ll see more birds on the allotment – I seem to remember robins find grasshoppers a great delicacy!
