That is like an incident that happened to me many years ago (during the COG Atlas), when I stopped to watch the ducks (and have some lunch) on the driveway beside someone's farm dam (On I think Williamsdale Road between Monaro Highway & Burra. I didn't get out of my car but there was a group of shovelers indulging in some entertaining courting activity). Some half hour later a police car zoomed up and then I was asked what I was doing and told of concern about my activities. I heard the story that there had recently been some problems with people shooting at the horses or something like that.
 
We do need to be careful. People don't always think we are obviously just looking for / at birds. Not to mention that some people don't want us there, looking for / at birds. No doubt there are many stories like that.
