I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the same individual was still maintaining his vigil on top of the same bush. Although I was staring with my camera from a different location, closer to him than the first time around, he just cast a passing glance in my direction without a care in the world.
It may well be that the little bugger had recognised me, whereas I would have been incapable of recognising him had he not stood in the exact same location :-)
