Black Skimmer with the FZ1000

Un-cropped, as-is out of the camera. This camera can do BIF.
 
Oh dear. Once I get back to Albuquerque, I need to throw a long lens on the E-M5 and get to the nature center. Trouble is: I just got an X1, and I have an LX100 on the way. Both great cameras that aren't exactly birding material. I haven't visited this thread in a while, and it's better than ever. Lots of talent around here.

Know exactly how you feel. I love birds, but the species in the neighbourhood seem to have reduced in number. A visit to the Hunter Wetlands Centre is on the cards pretty soon, I think.
 
We went to see a raptor show. It was both awesome and impressive to see those big birds up close and it gave me a chance to play with my A6000 and it's 11 fps. Only around 30 keepers of 900, guess I need more practice.
All shot with the 50mm f1.8 oss.

Apologies if the images are too large, I'm having a devil of a time trying to link images from Flickr on this tablet :)

Star of the show.

The eagle has (almost) landed.
