Interesting! Just 20 days ago I encountered some cases where I could not focus at small birds with my 5DsR and 400 DOII. Also I has encountered a case 13 months ago with 5DsR and 500mm f/4. In the latter case the bird was in the shadows and I was shooting almost against the sun. But not in the first case. Annoyed this year I changed AF servo settings to balance shutter release with af and turned the af ring manually! In fact I used kind of focus stacking since being short sighted I could not be 100% sure about my manual focusing. True these were rare cases but still annoying.
