I have that canon combination and it's fantastic, but I'm sure the Nikon would be too. For me, it's about being able to change settings on the camera without thinking too much and I'm so used to Canon that it's instinctive. I'm sure if I magically switched to Nikon or Sony then I would...

Marsh harriers making babies! This is at ISO12800 at about 170 yards, manual focus through a bush...

had a great morning with the shorties and then saw this little guy sitting on his wood pile....

especially love the first one - great shot.

I need to change the way I do it.. am I over-thinking it?

Lovely birds to watch [@ RSPB lakenheath this morning], the group came really close to the path and ignored me completely!

My feet have been enjoying a pair of https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FRX7J1G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this winter for sitting on a freezing cold boat for hours. Not as comfy as walking boots but beautifully warm and waterproof in a couple of inches of water...

That’s what it is! Thanks, gramps!

I coach rowing and spend a lot of time on the river, normally with my camera. I've seen this one along the same bit of the river before, but never sitting still. Last week, I finally got a shot off :) This is a 100% crop, hopefully next time I'll get a bit closer!
