Hello all

Hi to you all from Staffordshire,
I have been looking through this site for a few days and thought it was time to say hello.
I have just started to get back in to bird watching again. I want to combine the bird watching with photography. I am a complete novice at photography but through reading the advice you all have given on the site I have just purchased a Canon 400. I have ordered a Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens to go with it. I hope to be able to post photographs on this site half as good as some I have seen already seen in the gallery.

Dave

Re: Hello all

Thankyou for the warm welcome,
I have just been looking at all of your pictures in the gallery or on you sites. I think it will be along time before I reach all of your high standards, but I am sure I will have plenty of fun trying.

Dave

But, it's not compulsory to own the above if you're a Staffy!

Re: Hello all

Hi Dave and welcome.

I'm about to go down the DSLR route and may end up with the same set-up as you. Looks like an unbeatable combination.
