Grasshopper in forest debris 15.11.2013 (1)

I was surprised to spot this grasshopper in the forest debris and I only spotted it not because it hopped but because it moved slowly presumably because of lack of energy at this time of year.

 

These are a few shot that I managed while eventually getting down to ground level and the images of me arising from the forest floor must have seemed like the pantomime season has d come early to Suffolk!!!

 

Quite a tale lay behind these uploads because as you do I looked at the images on the camera and all seemed reasonable however when we got home the memory card a Delkin Device failed and would not allow access to the images . I inserted it again in my camera but it claimed no images to view.

 

We had to drive to Colchester today where the shop very kindly recovered all the images and even replaced the faulty card . This is the second Delkin Device that has failed this year and we are lacking in trust of the product as we travel many miles in pursuit of subjects and spend days in attempts to get a shot and to find the images are no accessible is a worry!!

 

Has any other flickr members had similar problems?
