Well, since thinking about it since before Christmas finally took the plunge and bought the next one up from my other camera, the Nikon P900, 83x zoom
The new camera is the Nikon P1000 which is a massive 125 times zoom!, quite a bit heavier than my P900 but still not as heavy as a SLR with big zoom lens.
Was looking forward to the Blood Wolf moon and had my camera and tripod ready but it turned out too cloudy in the end, a shame but that's nature isn't it.
So it was down to Reddish Vale Country Park to try out the big camera, a lot bigger than the other one so had to buy a bigger bag of course, and a filter lens as well.
Once again I was thwarted with the weather, wet and very windy, the sun broke though the clouds at times but the strong wind wouldn't let me focus at times with the tree branches playing havoc with the focusing, still here are a few of the pictures taken over the past few days.
Anyone home?.
Sun coming out
Not sure the new camera is better than my other one
Still the weather isn't helping in the decision.
One of my favourite birds.
Plenty of them around.
Seems a bit early to be nest building, perhaps just showing a female his prowess in collecting.
This goose doing his Long John Silver impression, Ah Jim Lad!!.
Wind blowing his tuft about.
Don't know if this is the young Great Crested Grebe from last years brood, could be returning to his home area?.
So a couple of days down the Vale and still no wiser if I've wasted my money as I've taken the same pictures in the past with my smaller camera, though to be fair will have to wait for better weather and try again.
Didn't even venture out today with heavy fall of snow but at least its melted away this evening, will have to see what tomorrow brings!.
