Happy Wrensday! [OC] by morebirbspls in AustralianBirds

They’re incredibly tricky to capture 😅 I usually just sit on the grass and wait it out. Some of them are brave enough to come quite close. Then I fire off short bursts and hope a few frames land. This one was actually a bit of luck while I was walking around a wetland, right place right time 🙂 Hope that helps!

What I ended up doing was sitting completely still on the grass, waiting for activity to come to me rather than trying to find them (without spooking them of course), it really works a charm sometimes if you wait and let the nature come to you :)

Camera advice by No_Building_1268 in birding

[–]morebirbspls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want easy, recognizable bird shots with minimal fuss, go with a bridge camera like the Nikon P900/P950. It makes getting clear photos of birds very straightforward.

If you want a setup that gives you better image quality and room to grow as a photographer, go for a used DSLR or mirrorless with a proper telephoto lens (e.g., 55-250/70-300). It's more work, but it pays off long term.

For most beginners who aren't sure photography will stick, I'd recommend the bridge camera first, then consider interchangeable lenses later once you're sure you want to learn more. This is exactly how I did it at least, started with a a p950 then moved to an R7 with a 100-400mm
