There&rsquo;s great business at the camp&rsquo;s bird hide. Bishops and Masked Weavers are weaving their nests in the reeds and trying to get takers to lay eggs in them. It&rsquo;s loud and energetic.</p> <p>The newfangled autofocus was completely bamboozled by the reeds and I had to fall back on manual focus again. Olympus has just brought out a bird-detect AI-driven autofocus mode. Doesn&rsquo;t sound like it would have fared much better but it points the way the future of bird photography in which the camera&rsquo;s autofocus has a much better idea of what you&rsquo;re trying to photograph.</p>
