I'm shit at identification but love watching and photographing birds. Spent 90 minutes trying to snap a swarming flock of swallows the other day and I think I got one clean photo from it.

I miss the 11fps continuous shooting mode my sony A6000 had, that was great for birds in flight. Anyone have any other quick-shooting camera bodies to recommend?

Yes. I love birding and find it a great bridge activity: it both encourages me to get out more and stuff to do when I'm stuck inside.

It's something I wish I could enjoy but it's so difficult to take pictures of birds.
99% of them fly away extremely fast if you get slightly close or make any noise.

So almost every picture I have is a blurry zoomed in shot just before a bird flies away.
So basically to be a birder you need a superpervert lens and the ability to sit still for hours at a time waiting for the a chance that may never happen.

So it's just not for me. Picrel is the only bird that ever stayed still and posed for me.

Fair, though

is unironically part of the appeal for me. It's like my version of fishing since I don't like fishing.
Nice cock

I like watching them, have binos and a spotting scope that's good to 30x, but its not a passionate hobby so much as something to do when I'm already hiking or chilling out.

Not as into birds as some of my friends but I usually take my camera on hikes and I like taking pictures of them.

I always snap a pic when I see something cool if I'm close enough, but I don't have an actual camera, just my phone.

This little guy was singing so loud even though he was really far away. My superpervert 500mm had no chance. Blackbird I think.

I realise these cheeky cunts arent birds but they had some nerve to start shagging right beside my setup so I retaliated by taking their pic
