Female great tit

I've taken loads of pics as usual at Priory Country Park, Bedford this afternoon on the way to do the Sainsbury's shop. However, I really liked this pic from yesterday so decided to post it anyway. I have posted pics from today in my other albums including a collage of waterfowl as there were so many nice ones about.

Thanks for everyone's kind comments, favs and getting my woodpecker on PP again yesterday. I really do appreciate it.

Rosie, this is another FAV for me. Your bird photos are always so lovely. What camera and lenses do you use?

[Judith Johnson]

Beautiful close up capture Rosie. (Thought I commented on this one yesterday but can't see my comment anywhere - oh well!)

@sue64 I have a Nikon Coolpix P510 with 42x optical zoom - it's a bridge camera but an amazing what it can achieve. I am stealing myself to get a DSLR but haven't had time to go and have a look at any yet. I need to feel them to see how heavy they are before I invest my money otherwise I would just buy online. I have been thinking about Nikon D7100 or D800 but of course its the lenses that you need to consider probably most. Any advice would be grateful. I keep reading the reviews but I think I really need to go and try some for myself as I always take handheld shots and am not sure whether either of these would be really OK for that. It's a lot of money to spend so I want to be sure that its the right camera for me

Hi Rosie. I'm a Canon girl and have the 7D and just recently purchased the 60D. Love them both - the 60D isn't as heavy as the 7D but only does about 5 fps whereas the 7D does 8fps. My favourite lens is the 70-200 f/2.8 but the one I use for the birds is the 100-400 f/4.5. Hope that helps a bit. . .
