You sometimes don't know what you have shot! A Marsh Harrier was flying far to far away, but I pointed the RF 200-800mm anyway. A tiny crop form the centre then showed it was flying with a catch.

There is a trio of great horned owlets nearby, they're now making short flights.

Canon R5 II with 100-500mm. A beautiful puffin quite a small bird and hard to catch in flight. The R5 II wasn’t perfect but it was good at tracking the Puffin as it came in from the sea. Far superior camera to the R5 in tracking ability. Image quality between both is similar.
