Thank you, many missed shots, a hard bird to track.

A pair of the three Osprey young have finally fledged and were out seeing the world. Hopefully they'll be joined shortly by the third.

It's a sport capturing hirundines. Here's a swift from Rome earlier this week. I had the RF 100-400mm on the R5 for lightweight travel - hand luggage only on the flight for a short conference there.

A Peregrine Falcon on top of a statue on the tower of St Botolph's Church, Cambridge. The statue is a representation of John the Evangelist as an eagle, dating to the 15th C, 83m above the ground. Looks quite like a Peregrine to me. (R5/500mm).

They are a beautiful bird, quite a cute face. How are you finding the R5 tracking something like that.

Better than any camera I have had previously because it has focus points over nearly all the sensor but I work hard keeping it in frame as they are so fast.

I really like the bird on the bird. Well done, Alan.

Thanks Click! That was the full frame as it seemed content to have its picture taken.

A Yellow-crowned Night Heron in north-central Texas last Tuesday. I only watched this bird about 30 minutes, and it caught two crayfish. I don't know how it saw the crayfish under that thick layer of duckweed.

Warbler season in North America! Not even close to jmeyer's observations, but it is a lifer for me, double-pack: female and male Cape May warblers.
