Robin and grasshopper

The grasshopper didn’t go down without a fight! In fact I don’t think it went down at all. It kept kicking and eventually broke free. The robin tried to pick it up a couple times, but I think it eventually wandered away to look for lunch elsewhere. Berries and worms are much less trouble!
