I was out at Lake Broadwater recently. A group of 11 apostlebirds (Struthidea cinerea) came to investigate me while I was eating. I set up my camera and flashes on the ground and stood a short distance away with my remote trigger. When the birds came over to investigate my camera and food crumbs, I blinded the bejiggery out of them with my camera gear. They soon got used to the flashes and the strange clicking noises, and I was able to take some pictures from an interesting perspective.
