FujiFilm FinePix S8650 Pictures

From what I could see online there's not many sample pics for the FujiFilm FinePix S8650. So I thought I'd post a few. The FinePix S8650 is a good camera overall, with 16 mega pixels and a decent 36x zoom. It takes normal AA batteries. This has its good and bad points. But, to be honest, I do prefer a camera that comes with its own rechargeable battery. It's just more convenient for me. These pictures are straight from the camera but have been made smaller. No other editing or enhancing has been done. I will add though. Filming video with this camera is OK, but not great. The autofocus seems quite slow, but the quality is pretty good. However, it is an older bridge camera, and was never really anything more than a basic entry level model anyway, so don't expect too much from it in that regard if comparing it to some of the 1080p / 4K capable bridge camera options available today. It does have a bit of potential for snapping some decent pics though.

How are my Birding skills. This Crow [or is it a Raven?] visits my garden everyday for food. And he is very clever. Any hard bits of food he comes across, he dips them in the water bowl. And sometimes, depending on how hard the food is, he leaves them in the water for around a hour to soften it up.

What do you want from me, more food? One of the many Squirrels that live in my garden and gets fed nuts most of the day. I keep promising not to feed them but always end up giving in.

Grey Willow [Salix Cinerea]

Landfill Methane Pressure Releaser

Picture reference. I don't know the professional, or industry name for this piece of equipment, so I'll call it a Landfill Methane Pressure Releaser. I've seen similar ones called either a landfill gas recovery well or landfill gas pressure release valve. But there are quite a few different styles and types, so I don't know if they are all performing the same function. This one was located on a landfill in the UK. Near Coleshill. Every now and then it makes a loud hissing noise. This, I think, is the methane gas from deep underground where the rubbish has been buried being released or captured. Gave me quite a fright the first time I was ever near one. I never knew what it was, and I didn't expect it to start hissing randomly. This picture was taken with the Panasonic FZ50.

Red Tailed Hawk Photos UK

Recently, I took the Samsung WB500 out for the first time and ended up getting some decent images. On my travels I ended up coming across some people who were out training their birds of prey. One bird was a Red Tailed Hawk, and the other was a Northern Goshawk. Just walking along and then bang, out of nowhere, coming face to face with these magnificent birds, it was quite surreal at the time.

I'm no expert on bird species, and only just found out the second bird was a Goshawk through the expertise of someone else. The owner of the bird, who had a foreign accent, did tell me the species but I couldn't remember what he said after we parted company. Anyway, it turns out the Goshawk is possibly from Germany or Finland and that does make sense now considering it's handler / owner spoke with a European tone.

Anyway, this post is about the Red Tailed Hawk. I got a few pictures of the bird spreading its wings. I hope you like the pictures in this post. The lowest images is the picture of the Goshawk. There are two other pictures of these birds at the link above.

After coming face to face with these birds, and admittedly being blown away by how stunning the Goshawk was (I liked the Red Tailed Hawk too), I did a bit of research on this bird and came to find out that the Goshawk can be extremely territorial. They are a force to be reckoned with. In fact, some people call the Northern Goshawk The Red-Eyed Terror! Very interesting. There are some great videos out there on this bird. I've been watching them all day!
