Very nice. I like the animation. I am thinking about purchasing a Nikon P950 for wildlife photography.

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks, Tom. These were shot on a Sony A7RV with a 200 - 600 mm plus 2x extender and about 4 metres away. This little fellow was watchful of me as he had a nest nearby and was feeding chicks so a lovely encounter which does not happen often.

I initially had the Sony equivalent for nature and travel, albeit a smaller optical zoom range. It worked and I actually still have 2 of them now, one for visible light and the other for IR. The bridge style camera (inc P950) does have some limitations, especially at the longer end of the zoom range. Hand holding for framing at the long end is almost impossible for most people - I use a monopod. Image quality does fall off a little. The other downside is the limited aperture. On saying all that they are a great compact, lightweight, portable option and a fantastic travel camera. They were the cameras I took to Europe earlier this year.

Cheers
