New Camera!

Great excitement here as I have finally managed to buy a camera that will allow me to get some better wildlife photos. I have gone for the Fuji Finepix HS10 as it seems to be a good all-rounder which comes with a very powerful 30x zoom.

The first thing I did was get out in the garden to take photos of the various birds (like this robin) that seem to be really starting to ramp up the singing in readiness for the fight for territory and mates in spring.
 
And then on an excursion to one of our favourite pubs on the marshes at Geldeston there were multiple pairs of mute swans. Again presumably they are readying themselves as pairs for breeding. There seem to be lots of mirroring behaviour, with the pairs moving along dykes feeding in graceful symmetry, which is a gift for someone with a new camera to play with!
