Kes
Life is pretty cruel in the natural world, too. A few months ago, my brother heard a dull thump of something hitting followed by God-awful screaming. The thump was a crow bouncing his kitchen window , having been attacked by a kestrel - the screaming was the crow been eaten alive. Overhead, dozens of crows swooped and screamed in an attempt to distract the hawk to no avail.
"So you must have got some great photos?", I asked when he told me the story. He has a fancy Nikon SLR of which I'm quite envious. "Um, no, I couldn't find it". It was buried under the golf clubs on the boot of his car. And that is why, whenever anyone asks me what sort of camera they should buy, I always give the same answer. Buy the one that you're prepared to carry around with you. It's the only type that matters.
