I'm sure the best shot is the one with the four "compadres" and you
kept it for yourself! …but I like your funny post.

What were they all looking at?

Thanks, but i have no idea what they were all looking at, there was nothing there of any particular interest

Predators need a stereoscopic vision and that's why they have eyes in the
front of their head.

Prays need to keep a watchful eye all around them (360° vision) and that's
why they have their eyes on each side of their head,

If I am trying to figure out what they were looking at,
I can see that it was at YOU! …clearly!

Could well have been, but they didn't seem too bothered by my presence

Possibly, Rich.
Maybe you were still far enough not to trigger a reaction
but close enough to justify their attention.

I was unsure when i first spotted these guys as they should be out at sea, not sat on a fresh water reservoir in the middle of the Derbyshire
