Standing watching wildlife.

I'm really enjoying myself being out and about watching wildlife.
Since I bought my green outdoor gear I have found myself standing quite close to rabbits and pheasants. 

What I have found is they will tolerate quite a bit of movement on my part as long as it is slow and steady, changing a battery in the camera scratching that irritating itch behind my ear that always comes when up close to something, head turning all this seems to be all right the movement that really gets them running for cover is if they notice you take a step.

Which brings me to another observation about wildlife watching when I started doing this last year I was doing a kind of power walk around the fields thinking the more ground covered the more I would see. Wrong! Recently I've taken to standing at the side of farmers fields and after a little while something usually comes out of any woodland nearby.  If they are a fair way down the field I try moving closer if they run for cover I just continue to the spot were I was heading for and wait chances are they will come out again in the same general area.
