10 minute stroll.

A quick ten minute stroll at lunchtime and I managed to get water rail on the year list. The bird was in the ditch to the west of the west bank path. Taken at 535mm, through intervening branches, this image shows what a great camera the Panasonic FZ150 is...I am really pleased with it.

It is compact, has great features and at the necessary longer focal lengths needed to get good quality on-screen record shots, you can see the image stabilisation really works.
