A herd of words

Last night, I read aloud the children’s book Herd of Words by Patricia MacCarthy, and was impressed with the number of terms I didn’t know describing groups of animals. Interesting ones include a convocation of eagles, a huddle of walruses, a cete of badgers, a cast of falcons, a bask of crocodiles, a leap of leopards, a scourge of mosquitoes, a shiver of sharks, a sounder of swine, a gatling of woodpeckers, a stripe of zebras. Later, I discovered a list of such terms at dictionary.com.

Applying this to my photography, perhaps I have an aberration of lenses, a body of cameras, a regiment of filters, and a pede of tripods.
