BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

At the limits of detection with the RF 100-500mm on the r5ii, for me. A Marsh Harrier having a snack in flight, then depositing the carcase on what must be its nest. I can just see the prey is a Moorhen chick.

This mallard was flying towards me at cruise speed.
R6m2 AF was able to lock on it for those three photos, after that the next 10 went OOF.
Seems I would have needed an R1 battery power for the RF100-500 to speed up.
Still, I have those three cool ones :cool:

But I can tell you, I really felt the draught when it was trying to part my hair, passing < 1m above me :ROFLMAO:
