I do photograph birds

I've had a life-long fascination with birds but I've always pursued the interest as one of many rather than single-mindedly as some do. And though I've taken the odd shot,  I've never really photographed them - the large, expensive lenses that are required and the determination necessary to get the shots just didn't appeal to me. But, the advent of mega-zoom bridge cameras offers the opportunity for less cost and I'm giving it a try, so now birds will occasionally feature. Though the image quality isn't as good as with more expensive lenses and bodies it's better than I imagined, and for many purposes, good enough.
