tomburras 2,721 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The other night I was on nights and my wife said she can hear a cricket in the garden, in all the years and time I spend out an night iv never heard this..... Does anyone else hear these? And any info? I think i have ID it as a southern field cricket? In in leeds, yorkshire so very rare up here if that's the case? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I couldn't hear anything on that clip. But, my hearing's long been shot. I can only add that I heard and found crickets in the middle of a major city. In amongst a long discarded old cardboard box. Pretty well in the 'middle of nowhere'. More industrial part of town, hard against a very busy, big road. They are out there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,204 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Used to get them in a nursing home, they had the heating ramped up for the old folks, the crickets loved the heat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
