In a post somewhere earlier there was a discussion, totally unrelated to the original post, about always carrying at least one camera about your person when ever you stir from the house; you never know what you might encounter. Since joining CIC I have become a member of the 3F's club... a Foto Fetish Fanatic
So.this arvo when driving down a back street in our small country town, I came across this group feeding on a nature strip. Of course I immediately abandoned the car and whipped out my camera and got down as low as possible, as recommended, to get a good aspect in the view finder.
It is an amazing tribute to country tolerance that neither the birds or the local populace seemed to consider my actions in anyway untoward. The birds ignored me and went on feeding. The locals probably dismissed me as just another sad drunk who had collapsed in the gutter on the way home from the local RSL bingo hall, which is just around the corner. Sadly such incidents are not an uncommon event around the town, or so they tell me.
