This Scaly-breasted Munia gave me a quick look and then headed off to the upper reaches of a nearby tree - with the rest of his friends ! I guess I got a little too close but don't worry they soon returned !! The plentiful seeds along the Meadowbrook at the Los Angeles County Arboretum made certain of that !
Just a bit of random existentialism, feel free to left click away.... :)
Pilot Nine surveyed the crate he'd been assigned and as his steel gray eyes roamed over its less than aesthetic features he pondered the fact that the old girl had been built before he was born which was a very long time ago. As he ran his hands over the rivets in front of the intake he realized he hadn't flown anything other than his desk in years, but they needed pilots, it was going to take everything they had to repulse Ming the Merciless' assault so he and this flying brick here would be needed this evening. Struts, tires, cowling, all looked good and she was buttoned up for flight. Ground crews log had everything in the black, who was he kidding, this baby was going up even if it had a red X and probably wasn't coming back.
He gave a wry laugh at himself when he realized that he'd groaned as he stood to peer into engine two's intake, nope, no birds had nested since the cover was removed. Finishing his walkaround he shook the crew chief's hand and clapped him on his shoulder, something he'd never done before and it was meant for him and every other crew member who'd ever prepared a ship for him for they always brought him back in one piece, something he'd always been grateful for, but never had relayed.
After ascending the ladder and climbing in, somewhere in the back of his mind Pilot Nine registered the engine noise around him, every spaceship, jet, hell, crop duster on the planet was firing up right now creating a cacophony that built to a solid and sustained crescendo that may have well been French Horns and drums as it made the blood boil and synapses fire once more.
Preflight done, engines fired, flight controlls, check. He indicated chocks out and noticed that his hands were shaking as he raised them for the chief to see, they'll calm at takeoff, they always did, once the chief reemerged and began to marshal it was brakes off and they began to roll. The Sargeant gave his sharpest salute and Nine didn't need to hear him to know he'd yelled 'give 'em hell' as he did so. Nine returned the salute and moved to launch. Give 'em hell, the SSF-4 had the flight characteristics of a Sherman Tank, but three times the fire power, he'd give 'em hell indeed.

One of the days that I enjoyed having that many of photographers out in the streets. It was simply an amazing experience.
Here is the Royal Wedding set
This young buck took time from eating the leaves of the trees and some grass to check me out. It wasn't sure if it should make a quick exit or continue eating.

Just occasionally, when I am under my camouflage, the magpies suspect something funny is going on. They do not sound off the danger call, and rather than fly away, a whole group of them will sit around me, looking at me and talking about me. They neither warble nor screech, but just "caa, caa" away in their own language. This is usually the cue for the small birds to disappear and the larger birds (crimson rosellas, wattlebirds etc) to come and have a look at me too. This will go on for 10 to 15 minutes before they decide I am just boring, and then they gradually dissipate and the small birds return.
It doesn't happen very often, but it is fascinating to see how one dominant species of wildlife will send out messages that are apparently understood by the other species.
I once also observed the same behaviour when a cat with a live mouse was cowering under some playground structure. In this case the currawongs and magpies were all standing by hoping the mouse might escape the cat.
