    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Thanks very much. That’s a bit far south for our trip to the north coast. Is narborough railway embankment any good ? I think I could visit that on the way in

    Azure Hawker?

    Since seeing that dragonfly I have read up a lot to make sure I am fully ready next time and it looks to me (I could be wrong) that the feature needed before anything else is the width of the markings on the side of the thorax. Thin for Azure, wide for Common. My dragonfly had wide markings so...

    Azure Hawker?

    i thought it looked pale Brown rather than the strong yellow of a common but happy to be wrong. :)

    Azure Hawker?

    Hi, I saw the attached today at Strontian in Ardnamurchan, Scotland I am edging towards Azure Hawker as the costa wasn't yellow but pale brown and there's no yellow on the abdomen but when I compare it to some photos online of Azure hawkers it seems a bit different. I read there is a blue form...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    If you were replying to me. You have misunderstood my post. I wasn't comparing dslr to the p900 but the differences in each one between their quality with sunlight and without. . Let's say on a sliding a scale of possible quality with 10 being the best. 3 p900 poor light 6 p900 sunlight 9...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    This is my go to long walk camera. It is so handy compared to lugging around a 7dmkii + 500mm just in case there's something I need to get a record shot. Got this Wheatear on a long walk today. Even with the horrible background it has come out quite acceptable imo. When this camera has light...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Still enjoying my p900. I absolutely love taking it on a dog walk when normally I would have had to lug the 7dmkii and 500mm with me just in case anything showed up! Got this in the garden the other day. Think it was one of the only times Ive had sunlight with it. That seems to make a big...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    The P900 can certainly do well in the right conditions. I was really impressed by the exposure on this. I didn't have to fiddle with anything.

    Video of a scarce Long tailed Duck in the Isle of man. Taken yesterday. It was at the max optical zoom and it seems at that distance moving water looks pretty bad on youtube. (I also tried vimeo and same thing) On my PC it looks good so not sure what that is about. https://youtu.be/DRPz2OOPZlI

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    About 15m I would guess. It would have been sharper if I had braced myself better.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Finally got a photo of a bird in sunlight. This was at 2000mm and handheld, its been cropped in a little bit too. I am quite impressed by this little camera. The bokeh is very nice considering its a p&s. I am happy the p900 can do the 3 jobs I wanted it for. (fake scope, record shot camera...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Two videos from yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBhaBCk2w_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daZVkR4-rSE The water on the rbm video has been wrecked with youtubes compression I think. It looks very blocky. Nothing like the original. Hey ho.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    I'm still waiting for some sunlight! But the p900, in one of its roles as scope replacement, is working very well. . Helping me confirm a common scoter and a red breasted merganser very far out.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Yeah I have no doubt about that. But at about a 1/6th of the weight if it can get usable stuff then it will do a job for me. (Walking long distances etc)

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Comparison video between 7dmkii + 500mm f4L + 1.4tc and the nikon p900. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL3lp5vlkbg Ps. I need to think of a better system for catching the seed but not letting it get clogged up so quickly!!

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Yes I'm hoping to use the p900 as a scope replacement for confirming ducks, divers, grebes out in a bay over here. The 500+1.4 could just about do it but I would assume the p900 will be better at letting me see what's quite far out

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    First video with my p900. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgn0q9BYvvQ This was at about 40ft range. Was at full zoom (2000mm) and handheld. It was quite poor light but i am pretty impressed. Especially with the image stabilisation. Everything I read was suggesting it was near impossible at...

    Ta. Blimey I would have expected that distance at 2000mm to have filled the frame with his eye! Haha
