First butterfly of the season! A Peacock landed on the grass, unexpectedly, and fortunately I had the 100-500mm + 2xTC on the R5 rather than the 800/11 which I had considered taking with me. Nothing special, but it means more fun soon.

Lovely shots. I especially like the second one. Well done, Nemorino.

Thanks,Click!

First BIFs this year: ...

Both are wonderful.
IMO the first is more "poetic" the second more "scientific".

 

[Nemorino]

Thank you!
Another "prosaic" one

A fly, which after processing, I now see as a Hoverfly, hovered in front of me for a few seconds while I was seeking a bird (R5/1000mm, 20 fps).

Excellent!

Well done, Alan.

some timid attempts...

A fly, which after processing, I now see as a Hoverfly, hovered in front of me for a few seconds while I was seeking a bird (R5/1000mm, 20 fps).

Nice picture and GIF but sadly (of cause not Your fault) the artefacts of the electroic shutter can be seen. This is why I no more shoot insects in flight with electronic shutter.

Another fly in flight but not hoovering. It has been flying slowly around.
After prefocussing with the branches the automatic tracking AF caught it.

R5 + RF100-400 @400mm, 1/4000, f/8, Iso 1000

The AF system is very impressive. Nice shot, Nemorino.
