johnny boy68 11,726 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm hoping I can capture a Kingfisher that nests local and also maybe get a Peregrine and Sparrowhawk that are also local. Thats all depending on me getting to work this camera, it took me a day to realise I still had the lens cap on. Thats the last time I take advice off paulus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
