Locusts are on the march

Locusts are on the march as you can see from this quick vid taken from our front gate at around noon today. (Actually, it is very hard to see on the video - looked OK on my camera but didn't upload very well - just imagine a sea of motion across the paddock!) As we are going into the dormant winter period, they are not an immediate threat. However, come spring when the eggs they are laying now hatch we may have a problem on our hands. Oh the joys of agriculture - droughts, gluts, frosts and now plagues!
