Robin surprises Owl - SX60HS
1

I bought an SX60 and everyone here  seems to think it worse than SX40. I thought it would be good for trying to take bird shots. I saw a post referring me to a blog by  ?Ken ?? who is highly regarded, and his shot are fantastic. And then I noticed the distance he is shooting at - 12-15 feet, so my ideas of glorious shots across the river are not going to happen.

I did however take this the other morning shot from my window about 40 feet from the owl.

It was on auto and I shot 3 before the robin flew off - auto chose 500 640 and 1000 and I was at full zoom so that was sensible I guess.

The sun on the white below the owl beak has blown out but overall it seems OK-ish.

PS I did a forum search about uploading to see if I should reduce it but got no results - so can those of you who upload to DPR regularly tell me your tricks.

Thanks
