Yesterday walking along the grassy western foreshore at the northern end of Googong every step saw tens/hundreds of these grasshoppers (about 30-40 mm in length) take dramatically to the air, with a few flying into ones face etc.

Any suggestions re identification?

 

 

Few birds seen - Pipits, White-faced Herons, and on the water, coots and a few  gulls.
