Man, I love fruit.

I had a fabulous day yesterday 26th Feb, not only did my wonderful hubby take me to get my new cam on Saturday ( a 90 mile round trip!) but he took me to The Tropical Birdland in Leicestershire UK. another 90mile round trip, so I could try out my Nikon, bless him :)
To say that I'm pleased with the results is an understatement. I've not tried manual yet, I've tried P, Macro, Auto and the Sport settings. I took this on the sports setting, I figured that as they were constantly moving about, it might just work. The blur that you can see on the edges is from the cage the bird was in.
This is definately the start of a beautiful friendship :D
