I Think I Need to Work on My Stalking Skills

This is a follow on from the shot in the collage last night.
There were hundreds of shags sunning themselves on the bank of one of the lakes at Palm Meadows. As I tried to get close for a side on shot, they took fright and off they all went. There were shags and wings and water flying everywhere. Very funny.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

So all that action is your fault? Made for an interesting photo tho.

[Kerry McCarthy]

That's one way to get an action shot! You must be one scary guy!

[Tony]

Had a similar view of a flock of swans. Nice capture.

[Kerri Michaels]

[Susan.T.]

LOL...it;s a cool shot!

[Debbie]

you have to go slowly Terry - but sometimes in our excitement of a good shot you get something like this - which is still pretty good catching them all taking off

[Susan C Clow]

Great shot of a made dash take off. FAV

[Rachel]

Are they really called shags? Yes, you were spotted big time. But they do make a nice shot of them all taking off.

[whereissonia]

it wasn't your clickey ankles that gave you away again was it?

[Barb Newcomb]

I'm glad you told us what they were - I could not tell from all the wings and feathers and things! Great capture - I bet you did that on purpose!!

[Poppo Livy]

@beachdog Initially no but once it happened once, I went running down at them and the whole frantic episode would be repeated.

[Peter Grave]

Nice shot Terry.They had probably heard about your fetish for roast shag.!!

[Denise Wood]

As soon as I saw this I wondered what you had done! great capture :)

[PhotoCrazy]

Hahaha, yes you do! Nice capture

[Richard Hoeg]

Hmmm ... I was wondering what you said! Great pic.
