I'd agree with you in that scenario. However, a little
thought and effort can set up a more believable situation:

Perhaps "I had set up a camera on my bird feeder--I'm an avid
bird watcher and I wanted to see if anything interesting arrives while
I'm at work--and this is what I found when I checked the tape."





Not everyone is as stupid as you seem to think....
