IMHO if you want retro styling then go buy an old film body and experience the thrill of using a "proper" camera, Olly made some great cameras with the OM series, better in some respects than the Pentax M bodies, forget the OM-D look for a used OM4T

If they wanted to resurect the OM name they should have at least made it a proper DSLR and fully compatible with old OM mount lenses.

It is explained in the manual.

Some lenses may have front or back focus issues and it even varies from copy to copy, but the K5 will allow you to fine tune the focus for up to 20 lenses and will remember the adjustment each time that particular lens is attached.

Female Tufteds can have a white patch round the base of the bill and also under their tail feathers but this one of yours seems to lack the small Tuft at the back of its head, could it be a Pochard?

We have a few aircraft enthusiasts, Mike-p springs to mind for one, check out his portfolio. You could also try the Pentax Gallery link and browse the sport/action section, most images will contain information about the camera and lens used.

You would be better off following bird watching forums or keeping track of local sightings on the various RSPB reserves.

You could try birdforum.net for starters

I also read some not so good reviews about the d7000's curve in chasseur d'image
I wouldn't believe everything you read in reviews, the D7000 is every bit as good as the K5, better in some respects as they both have their strengths.

Can't help you with lenses for aircraft though, it's not something I've tackled yet. As for the deal with the kit lenses it may be worth chatting to your dealer and asking what they can offer as an alternative for something in excess of 200mm, you could also ask SRS what they could offer you.
