With the combination Nikon D5600+ Tamron I have taken many nice shots, although I must admit that birds in bird's-eye view were a difficult job for this combination.
Since I have been doing videography for 10 years, I manage pretty well to determine the right composition (before taking the picture), and place the light as well as possible on the subject although not all birds cooperate willingly.
In September I was able to acquire a Nikon D500 for a small amount of money, which, according to the reviews, would be the best birdwatching camera, so I had to find the right manual settings again. I learned a lot with this combination. Photographing birds in flight was more successful with this combination than with the D5600. From then on I also started to visit hides, but mostly I continue to photograph the birds in their natural environment. I think shelters are a great initiative to get a good picture of certain shy species without disturbing them. Because the Tamron 150-600 needs a lot of light, I couldn't resist buying a fixed lens (which needs less light). This ended up being the Sigma 500mm f4 in combination with the NikonD850.
All the photos on this site are my own, taken with the Tamron 150-600 or Sigma 500mm. Copying for your own purposes is allowed, if you want to use my photos for online states/presentations, I highly appreciate that you leave my watermark on the photo, and mention this website as the source, please send an email so I can get you the large format JPG (RAW file I will not share).
I also want to mention that most bird species are listed by biotope: forest and heathland; field and meadow; marsh and water; coast and dune, this makes it easier to classify them.
With each bird you will find clear information, if you have an addition, or a fun fact, you can always comment at the bottom of this page.
