Dear Terry,
Thanks for the photos. I have included a copy of one of your wholephotos alongside as it shows how exposed the animal is in its environment. It certainly is not trying to hide. If your friend is willing to share his photos, I would love to have some of it feeding
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
