Enjoy it Werner.
You know what I like best of all about my FZ50 for birds? The silence. After I've silenced all the cute little 'pips' the camera makes, I can even put the shutter on silent mode - so I get more than one shot, the bird doesn't hear the first one. I did find it a little disconcerting at first, because I was so accustomed to a noisy shutter - but now I love it even for people, because it doesn't draw attention.
