While we are on to flying geese, this pair of Canada had remarkable synchronization (R5ii + RF 100-500mm).

Kestrel hovering. To get a front view I would have had to swim in the reservoir it was hovering close to,

Sturnus vulgaris aka starling aka Star
R5m2 + RF 100-500L
@ 1/4000, f/7.1, iso 2500/3200


The R5m2 tracked the bird even through some branches which covered nearly the hole bird (between the third and fourth picture). Very good performence!
