Roesel's bush-cricket at Barrow Lane, St Helens today, a new species for me and I think the 2nd record for the borough though they are no doubt under recorded. It's a species which is spreading north and has a distinctive song which sounds a bit like a Savi's warbler and is made by rubbing it's wings together. This is why in the photo, just about everything is in focus except the wings. That's my excuse anyway! Below is a short video of the habitat with the bush-cricket calling in the background.
