During this feeding had moved over to rock R then onto log B - at far end & from us. Then move back to log A (mear rock) - orient flat against log. Looks like may be ~90° to sun's rays. After few seconds moved farther from us up A, turned & came back down over the rock to B . I had been poking out from under B & onto log C . Was frightened into hollow by sudden approach of B . It followed J into hollow. Heard movement & could see tail of one of them, but not know what happening. It came out onto log C & moved to - where ~ 2 ft from me. Did 2-3 pushups. Move forward, do 2-3 more. Turn head to look (at us I guess). Move to end C, jump to end log D (only few inches) - jump to end log E. Did few pushups there; move away from us of E. When reach bush 2, off log into base of bush. Looked out from there. Move back to log E & move farther away from us (could no longer see). Got up to leave. Area quite open. Looks like fire there. Lot of burned logs a'nd. Bushes is , relatively far apart. Lot of rock.
