Been searching a bit and reading through the sticky at the top of this section and really interested in capturing some good shots of some birds, im in the countryside so seems like something cool to do while on my walks.
Ok, so saw a Magpie land pretty close to me earlier today, was really quiet getting my camera out of my bag and managed to get a few quick snaps using the auto-settings on my camera, then tried to get in a little closer but it flew into the bushes/trees and out of sight, so I left it at that.
Was more of a spare of the moment thing today, captured the shot, but thats all it was, nothing special but has made me want to get some more quality photo's of birds etc... while they're in the wild.
What I'm thinking is important:
Is there anything else you would recommend to help me get better photo's of them, and what would you think would be a good shutter speed to use, I use a Panasonic DMC-LZ20 Bridge Camera.
Thanks

What I'm thinking is important:
- Fast shutter speed
- Decent zoom
- Keep as quiet and still as possible
