Well ratty-tat, wish I could have that experience......and as an older guy, I'm getting out of that darn tent a few times a night now........your humble narrator below:)
I regret not having stuck around a bit longer. I knew at the time that I would also regret not at least trying to go for my camera.
OTOH this experience also allows me to sound like a nutbag if I reveal it to someone and I really don't like that. I feel like I have enough issues being credible without that hanging over my head. So most of the time I keep silent about it. It would be a whole lot easier to have no opinion on the subject; ironically I still don't have an opinion; since I know for a fact they exist (or did) and there's nothing anyone (including myself) can say or do to change that.
No need to be, my friend, no one here is perfect. And believe me, one little leaf blowing in the wind at the end of a small branch rewarded me with hundreds of frames of virtually nothing. It happens.
