Four things for the unexpected

Page 6

So what next if your subject is a no-show? In nature nothing is ever
wasted (a precept that should also apply to your time). In
seemingly uneventful situations be prepared to make the most of

whatever else turns up and if you want to give yourself plenty of scope
for the unexpected:

1. Don't be a "species snob." Common and garden variety creatures
have just as much to offer as the next rare or unusual find. So make
use of the time by making use of them.

2. Never under estimate the power of water.
On hot dry days birds like nothing

more than to bathe and to drink.
Sooner or later every animal will
need to do the same. So if you
happen to be lying low next to a

puddle after a downpour then stick
around. A good source of water is
usually the place where a number of

surprises often come from.
