Glad you got your lens hood sorted. Andy lost his lens cap on Staines Moor. We are waiting for the replacement to arrive. Plenty of Stonechats and Chiffchaffs on Staines Moor including one very lost Siberian chiffchaff. Lots of lovely bird pics on your video. Hope to see some of those birds in Murcia Region in September.
Yes the lens hood was a bit of a fright not sure how i tightened it so much in the 1st place !! ....i have been on a good run of luck recently and the birding gods have been kind
Nice video - I have the P1000 on loan and am struggling to get to grips. You do better than I have! BTW, the "linnets" are corn buntings and the redstarts are black redstarts. I love the Spanish landscapes and bird habitats. Awesome. Crazy tip about banging the camera - though I had a problem with the Canon 5D where the wheel wouldn't change the settings and it seemed that banging the lens made the difference, but v risky.
The original idea to bang the camera came off the net so somebody else must have had the same problem @ sometime but yes not recommended really as it could end in tears ! i am glad that you corrected me as i did think they were juvenile linnets as there were a load of different species feeding in this brocoli field together like a super flock and the Redstart i wasn't paying attention when editing 😁 ...yes we have some amazing landscapes here in the Murcian Region but we are still in drought and some rain would be most wellcome ...not sure how the P1000 will help you except with extra reach ?
Nice use of zooming crops and a good mixture of stills and video and music, although, I wonder if acoustic guitar might go better with birds. I've owned a P900 but never had the problem you described, however, from time to time, some mirrorless cameras seem to lock up for no obvious reason. Fortunately, the cure almost always seems to be to turn them off, take the battery out and then put it back in and the camera fires up like nothing was ever wrong. However, I'm happy to report my P900 never did that. You have some very good stills with excellent use of what looks to be late afternoon light but their impact is somewhat diluted by some soft video images. I wouldn't mind spending a little more time lingering over your sharp images.
Thanks for the kind comment 👍 the music is purely down to what i have been listening to during that month that sticks in my head it could be anything really... but i do like Pink Floyd and would use that for everything 😁 how i managed to overtighten the lense hood i do not know !! at the moment most of my photos are taken between 3pm to 5pm which will vary during the yr Video is becoming my archiles heel @ the moment which i thought would be easy and photos would be hard ...my trouble is not using a tripod / monopod and i struggle to hold the camera steady as i have a slightly disabled right hand which means i struggle to hold / grip the camera properly and operate the video ...i am thinking of making a video about this and some ideas about making a grip to suit my hand which will solve a weight problem if i upgrade ?
The bird is called a Eurasian Hoopoe ( Upupa epops ) and can been seen here all year in this part of Spain usually probing for insects in the ground and also has an amazing crest on there heads which is spectacular but usually fard to film also worth googling there amazing song 👍
Thats a hard question for me to answer because i have never used a P1000 but in theory it should be the P1000 as it has a bigger zoom which is why alot of people buy either the P950 or P1000 as we all want the extra zoom without the weight / price of a DSLR camera but the downside of the P1000 must the extra weight which is why i went for the P950 it was the biggest zoom for the weight / price 👍

Ok, What was the awesome peach, black and white winged bird with the long curved beak and tuft starting at the 7:20 mark? Have never seen before. 😮

Thanks so much.
Best between 950 vs p1000 sir 😊
