There was I snapping away happily from my hide, when the owner of the land I was on turned up. Thought the polite thing to do was introduce myself & ask if ok to take photos (albeit after the event). He was staring in my direction, so I gently pulled the hide material off myself............ & nothing...., he just kept staring past me. So I said hello........ nothing. He just kept staring over my head. So I said hello a bit louder & in Chinese. He suddenly focused on me 10' away from him & in Khaki apparel. Poor chap leapt out of his skin!!!!! I swear his shoes & clothes stayed where they were, but he had an out of body experience about 2' in the air. Anyway he saw the funny side & let me stay     08/10/2005 Lamma Island D70s w/Nikkor 80-200m F2.8 D « Last Edit: Oct 23rd, 2005, 9:34pm by anonymous_guy2 » Logged Your inability to tolerate my ambiguity is compounding your neurosis anonymous_guy2 BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 209 Re: Chinese Pond Heron (Lamma Island) « Reply #1 on: Oct 8th, 2005, 11:59am » Quote Modify And another...... this time stretching to catch a dragonfly........   08/10/2005 Lamma Iskand D70s w/Nikkor 80-200mm F/2.8 D Logged Your inability to tolerate my ambiguity is compounding your neurosis Etta BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 993 Re: Chinese Pond Heron (Lamma Island) « Reply #2 on: Oct 8th, 2005, 12:13pm » Quote Modify Impressive photos!    What a special experience!     Curious to know a bit more about your marvellous hide!
