diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Some cameras allow you save a custom setup to a specific button or pre-set. I have one for birds in flight and another for static birds, so it's pretty simple to change between them. Main differences being shutter speed and focus area, but I also use higher frame rate for BIF. Good luck with it. 010
diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That looks more realistic than the other version. 020

diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nothing wrong with that one Stephen. My stock approach is fast shutter speed, (c 1/2000 +) enable all focus points and bird detect if you have it and follow the flying beast before and just after you mash the shutter. 210

diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yeah, but don't forget you can probably cure the cancer anyway by shining a light up your gusset. And if that doesn't work, it'll probably magically go away in 2 weeks. 000

diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thanks, yes it was great. Spurn is a super migration hotspot as it sticks out into the North Sea and is the first/last piece of land birds see. I had 53 species on the day, including a 'lifer' in the Eyebrowed Thrush. Only around the 30th ever record in UK so 100's of 'twitchers' arrived later. 110
diddlydog.bsky.social @diddlydog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#BestOfTheMonth is the #BirdOfTheDay theme; your best shot for September Remarkable day at Spurn yesterday with Eyebrowed Thrush, Yellow-browed Warbler and Pied Flycatcher amongst the highlights, but also enjoyed seeing my first Brambling for the autumn. #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography 1190

Always a fun outing, some very special birds today and a super group too. Eye-browed Thrush was apparently seen again on Church Field so that might explain the traffic. 061
