:lol: Definitely some crappy timing there Stan. I think the Oystercatcher might have an argument that he's not the indelicate one though.

Very nice shot Stan, maybe you can sneak up on them next time, and they'll hang around for their photo shoot.

When you gotta go you gotta go so the flock left...but when you gotta go but you haven't gone and a photog is approaching then you stick around until you go, then realize the photograoher isn't bothering you so you stay :-)

Is there "disdain" involved here or was your presence "scary"?... a definite mystery I think... such impressive timing Stan ;)......
