Hi and welcome to Birdforum. I have moved your thread to a more appropriate forum on our site.... the 'hello' forum may get you plenty of welcomes from other members, but probably not the answers to your questions.

cheers,
Andy

+1 to this.

I swear I posted some settings in that thread, but I can't find them in a quick search.

It's going to depend on whether you want to catch BiF, are willing to do post-processing, etc. If you have a more specific question, at the very least ask in the link above and myself or others are bound to notice and answer. We also post examples of SX60 photography every so often.
