Birds

I have found 11 new birds. But it is very difficult to get a good shot of them as they are sprayed on a small wall dividing the train tracks running through Berlin. Those tracks are elevated (about 10 meters high). The only possibility of getting a picture of those birds is to shoot it out of a moving tram. And that's the problem. Trams move way too fast most of the time. So to get a picture that's as unblurry as possible I need 1. sunshine (to reduce the exposure time) 2. a slow moving tram. I think I'll have to spend a Sunday just taking trams back and forth between two stations and try to get good shots of the birds.....

One of the 11 new ones is easier to get a picture of though. It's located on the outside of a building about 10 meters above the ground. All I need there is a good zoom lens. I might have to take all these pictures with my SLR camera. I can control exposure time much better with it and also have a very good zoom lens....
