Congratulations on excellent shots! Were you tracking them or could you use pre-capture?

Thank You, Alan! I used tracking.

German bird names are often very, very weird.

My favorite is Flußseeschwalbe
(river-sea-swollow)

So it's "Regen river Plover"

No! The German name of the familiy Charadriidae is "Regenpfeifer" .
In German Lapwings are also Regenpfeifer.

Great shots again! I went out with my R5ii and 200-800mm at 1120mm for BIF, inspired by yours. It did fast focus very well much to my surprise. The AF at narrow apertures has really improved from that of the R5, where they restricted the the focus area of the 800 f/11 to a central rectangle. I checked that the restriction is indeed not present with the R5ii.
