Hi Philip,
I guess so, but not nearly as much fun.

Isn't it more likely that
you happened to lie down near a favoured perch or that it didn't see you until
you moved?

A few years ago I solo climbed Mt Domain
(near Tidbinbilla). I stretched out for a lunchtime nap near the
summit. After a while I heard a crash in the tree above me. Jumping
up, I startled a wedge-tail that had just landed there. He promptly flew
off, slowly gliding down to Tidbinbilla.
In hindsight I wonder if he thought that I was carrion and that if I had stayed
still would he have floated down and taken a bite? That would have been
quite something although I doubt that I could have held my nerve that long.
Could the experts advise if he really was getting ready for a homo sapiens
sandwich?
