I have used only EFCS on the R5 until today as 20 fps in ES are too many for me. But, to see if I got better battery life with ES I tried it today. It's positively eerie being silent, and I soon racked up enough shots to join the 1000+ per charge. I got shot after shot in perfect focus and so discarded most of those 1000+ per charge. Anyway, I kept a few back to make some animated gifs of a Blackedheaded Gull in flight and here of a Eurasian Robin singing.

I wish we had those US birds in the UK. The Cardinals are commonplace for you but I love seeing them when I visit the US.

That Eurasian Robin is a beautiful bird. It's nice to be able to see birds from around the world since I've been hunkered down.

The good news is that I'm soon to have my 2nd Covid vaccine, and my wife just got the chance to have her first.
Oh, soon, maybe we can get back to traveling!

Love the light on the middle image and the perspective of the third. I'm far from expert, but isn't that middle picture a house finch?

Thanks, HenryL. You're right. I just assumed they were the young from the Cardinals since they seem to show up at the same time at my feeder.
I've corrected my post (thanks!)

Snagged a shot of this Dark Eyed Junco this morning using the R5 85mm 1.2L USM and the Canon Connect App. The app needs some work, it is very sluggish in live view and cause the R5 to freeze up several times.

And for the first time at "my" lake: a cormorant. There were four of them.
I know there is a colony at the local zoo some km to the north but I haven't seen them at this lake since I moved here.
Twas pretty far away, so heavy cropping was needed and the image is not that great.
