Watch the birdie...
Any chance you could put a few picture into your gallery, Ron? I'd be very interested to see some examples.

Keith,
OK, I'll work on it in the next few days. Maybe I can figure out how to do it.
What I meant to say up above was that you can use a slower shutter speed, not a faster one with image stabilization. I said quadruple but I meant to say one-fourth. Big difference!

Don't worry too much Ron - there has been quite a bit of discussion on here about image stabilisation, and I imagine that anyone who has followed the subject will have realised what you really meant.

Rather funny to say the least... It could be said that it's mostly true as well!
You may want to try what I do when I'm out birding: the lens cap stays in a pocket and the camera is never turned off. I doubt you need to turn your camera off... It isn't like it's going to eat your batteries by just sitting idle for a few hours.
Sorry to hear about that episode...senatore said:

Fellow sufferer here Max, same set-up same experiences its been raining for months.
Had one day of sunshine and it was off to Kielder Forest, not a spuggie in sight :-C. Should have took some landscape shots but didn't want to take my nice almost unused bigma off the camera in case something turned up, it didn't.
Look forward to some top class photos from you soon.

Can these birds actually tell what sort of lens you've got attached?
Back in January I was at Langwell Valley in Scotland, hoping for a Golden Eagle. Just before we were due to leave I decided that I was out of luck, so I popped on the short lens for some landscape shots. Three minutes later a wonderful Golden Eagle flew almost overhead and was mobbed by a Raven (can a single bird 'mob'?). It would have made a great shot, beautifully emphasizing the size of the Eagle. I'm sure it had been flying about in the distance just waiting for me to remove the long lens.
