Well spotted. I believe a new location for Ks. Must be near Jo Walker's place. How come such a late upload from Oct 22.

Hi Roger, It was on Jo's property on a Field Nats outing. She gave permission for me to upload sightings. As for the timing - I'm well behind in uploading a number of sightings. It takes up a lot of my time.

Thanks Alison. I can understand the time issue as I have not even started! Does Jo know? Interestingly I have visited her property several times but have not seen Ks there, although I was not focussed on searching for it at the time. I will talk to Jo about it and arrange a visit for a habitat description and a future check on its presence in spring to update the DPE Saving our Species project on Ks. There is another property along Norton Road with Keyacris.

Yes, Jo told me she had seen them there so she did know.
