Never follow the croud; you will never get further than the crowd.
The man who walks alone will find him in places no one has ever been.
One of these days the crowd will leave me ........

Thanks everyone for the comments. These birds are shy and fast - I only managed to fire off two shots before she flew away. The male was also in the area but never came out into the open.
