Parker... Nosey Parker
This is Parker... Nosey Parker. Whilst on knees filming dragonflies at edge of pond... this little chap spent 15 minutes stood behind me, nosey-nudging at my shoulder. I kept telling it I was busy and eventually named it Parker... Nosey-Parker. When finished and finally stood up, it continued, but now at elbow height... so I filmed our shadows..
Tall Grass Munchy Mary
Grazing head down in amongst tall moorland grasses, this local was moving forward slow but constant. Anticipating its direction meant an opportunity to make an attempt at setting a camera up at ground level for a low-level-tall-grass-munchy close up. Nearly worked, but was rumbled.
Ben-Knee the Bee
This is Ben-Knee the Bee. Initially it was facedown on the grass and stayed that way for half an hour. Suddenly it came around, made slow progress walking up a grass bank... circled around in front of the ground-set camera... showed its knees... the real bees knees... then buzzed off... Ben-Knee the Bee now has a "Check Out The Knees" t-shirt & mug design.
Sometimes here... often there.
