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.
