I was walking along and this whole flock just came down the hillside right beside me. The ewe was a little wary of me at first (probably because she had her little lamb with her).

But this one has eye contact and a sense of relating to the viewer, so it's my favorite. And indeed, the Leica's quiet shutter is an advantage.
