| Night-singing grasshopper sounds like a cicada - ID?
There's a grasshopper chirping very loudly and clearly every night from a garden two doors away (about 20 metres) from us and this is something I've never heard before, let alone in east London!
Does anyone know what a very loud, exuberant chirper could be? and what its habitat is and why that makes a garden attractive?
we do live only about 500 metres from the Walthamstow marshes but it's still remarkable, as the immediate area is rows and rows of terraced housing interlaced with busy roads. |
