I'm in awe of people who can shoot birds, they have patience i clearly don't.
This is one of my few bird shots i'm happy with...

Bought a new compact yesterday, a Canon SX60HS with a 65x optical zoom so tried a few shots this morning. All hand held with various zoom levels and 'auto' setting.
A bit better than the HTC phone but not up the standards of you guys with the DSLR's. However, I needed a reasonably compact, all round camera for travel.

dragged into the local bookstore this evening by the girl of my dreams and spotted a hard cover copy of Neville W Cayley's "what bird is that?" on special for $30 while I wandered round trying to look half intelligent...
snavelled it and started to browse through it when I got home...
beautiful book with marvellous illustrations
