The funny thing with birds was that with all their beautiful feather coats, their expressions never changed, therefore making them very hard to read and predict. Osprey hadn't been as careful as she had wished to be, because, while making herself comfortable, she put her weight on a twig that snapped with an audible "crack". The bird caught this, looked around, but somehow missed the predator lying and watching it nearby.

Encouraged by this lucky turn of events, she carefully got to her feet and, forgetting all the need to quiet and sneaky, charged at the bird full-speed with an intention to make it jump and fly off.
