OK, I know they show that the grass is in a healthy state but why do they insist on sitting right where I am about to place my knee having crept up on that brown argus and am ready to start shooting?

Sods law i'm afraid, but I do love these little buggers as you call

It landed - I was too close to get it in focus, took a step back and fell over!
