Why does a Black-headed Gull have a brown head...
Pleased with this photo of a White billed Diver - it had just resurfaced. Distance - about 50 metres, at full normal zoom ( not the extra blue bit . . .)
Great pic of a great bird - we had one here once and the 'record' pic was of it pooping.
I see a few folk not happy with the P900 but as long as you accept it's never going to equal big sensor camera I thinks it's perfect for the birding I do - I find it easy to use and easy to track flying birds with. I readily admit that I hate the slow card write, buffer filling up but I can just about live with that for the amazing usable reach the lens has. A pal has a Nikon D800 which he uses for ship photography - he saw what my P900 could do with ships at distance and immediately bought one.
The Manx & the Gannet were a fair way off in a Force 7 blow not bothering to stay still for me - I've owned most of the superzooms and the P900 despite it's shortcomings is the best yet. (in my opinion)
