Grasshoppers on a hot day

                              Very hot today with more grasshoppers than birds and butterflies. 28 C

Grasshopper - probably Field? made a huge jump from my arm on to this web covered leaf

It has small wings - just not fully grown?

Berries and fruits ripening far too early this year, there won't be any left by the time the redwings and fieldfares arrive

Hawthorn - haws are ripening and drying out already

Sloes on the Blackthorn looking like plums, ripening fast

Only a Meadow Brown - one out of hundreds on the grass before the sun became too hot

A Speckled Wood in the sun - it will seek others to chase around in the shady trees
