Wildly Inaccurate - 2

I have developed a new form of wild-life protection. It has long been recognised that shooting creatures while on safari or in the countryside can lead to a huge decrease on their numbers. If you must hunt endangered species then I reckon it is far better to miss.

That is why I have taken this to a new level. Wild creatures are shy and the last thing they want is to appear on Facebook or in some other unsavoury public arena, like my blog.

So when I try to take a photograph I just miss.  But that’s OK because it means that, while on this holiday, I have collected some lovely photos of bushes or tarmac with animal-coloured smudges in the background
The dark smudge is a very rare Echidna

Meanwhile, Sally has no such scruples. She manages to capture their image and now has quite a collection. She says that it something to do with hand-eye coordination and speed of reaction, unimpeded by age.

But she’s wrong, of course. It is an ethical issue and so while you peruse her photos of kangaroos and kookaburras, take a second to admire my collection of bushes.
