  • Buzzards again

    A pair of Common Buzzard inspecting their nest prior to repair before the nesting season. Taken from my bedroom window at a distance of 100 metres with Nikon P900

    You lucky man, David.

    Looks like you may well see chicks there in the future.

    Pin sharp photo as per usual. Nice work.

      Thank you Garry. It is interesting that images of this quality from the Nikon P900 aren't guaranteed but at least I can get them with a bit of effort, whereas the Canon/Sigma setup is more consistent but has never produced this detail on the same subjects.

        Are you finding yourself using the Nikon P900 more than your Canon ?

        Have to admit. The picture quality that this Nikon produces, is really good.

          Just... wow. We've got buzzards nearby, but not that close! Excellent shot (and I've peeked at your Flickr stream too - particularly liked the chaffinch at 250mm

            Thanks

            Yes I am using the Nikon more but this won't be the norm as better weather comes. The Canon outfit can do a whole lot more, including BIF, than the Nikon, so come the big birding trips the Nikon will be there but in the bag most of the time - only brought out for flowers and insects etc.
