Re: Roesel's Bush-cricket
Super shots. Not that rare anymore to be honest, the literature used to have them confined to only a few locations, you could find them at the mound at Mildenhall for example.
I think they have got moved around with all the quarry works as I found a colony of them in Herefordshire about 12-15 years ago at a gravel pit and they've appeared at others since then. Saw some more by the canal at Frampton in Gloucestershire on a Marsh Sandpiper hunt several years ago as well.

Thanks for the info. as i understood it they are spreading out but was told the full wing isn't that common i've seen plenty of short wings but never a full wingcapercaillie wrote: ↑Mon 13 Jul 2020, 4:37 pmSuper shots.
