Luftmensch photography

This little critter here seems to have quite a strong aversion to being photographed. Quite a few times have I reached for the camera, switched it on and pointed it up, only to find an empty frame. And that happened too many times for it to be a coincidence. We call this feathered little thing, native to the tropics to my knowledge, a Bulbul. Now, this bird here and it’s mate are always in a hurry. They don’t seem to do much, nor do they seem to have a lot of construction activities in the nest building sector going on. But for whatever reason, they are terribly busy. Very often, I have seen them sitting prettily on an overhead line and swinging as if it were the most important thing in the world. It seems having fun is a very important thing to do. And perhaps it is. The too-busy-to-be-photographed birds are busy having fun. What a wonderful thing to be occupied doing.
