This Greater Yellowlegs started walking towards from a ways out, and did not stop until it was inside of minimum focusing distance. Then it began to preen. Great, now I had to do the careful reverse army-crawl in the mud to get it back outside MFD, and with a good composition distance. With its back angled slightly towards me, all I had to do is wait for a proper head angle...which it mostly refused to do. I got it here though, but not before I got its attention with noises from my mouth and lips!
