Do you see the defiance in those beady eyes?!! That one in the front was clearly the mastermind. I’m convinced the feather display behind was to psych me into dropping my camera and running away therefore leaving them to eat the lens . You can’t out psych me goose. Although your beady eyes still haunt me.
These were a few more shots from my time at Broken Cliffs. I love the ‘lightness’ in the last image.

It sounds like you (and your lens) had a narrow escape – haha. Great photos.
Thanks 😉
