Another shot from Tanzania while on safari with 7DII + Tamron 70-300.
I think it is a white-backed vulture (Gyps africanus), but I'm not sure, as I can't see its back.

Western Gull. Cropped from original with the 100-500. Disappointed that the sunny side is just a bit more blown out than I'd like, but the eye detail is great

This was the first time I've seen ducks propelling themselves across the water surface. They moved quite fast. There were a number of them and they appeared to be trying to catch up with mom. I assume they couldn't fly yet, but I'm not sure. As usual, I wasn't ready for the action. These were the only two shots that weren't unusable, notwithstanding the distracting log in the background.

Heerman's Gull, I think.

Nice capture. Closest thing to a water bound "bird in flight" I've seen

Is this a Sanderling? I am really more and more happy that I got the 100-500. For the 1st image, I did darken the background, a bit in post. 1/3200 f/7.1 ISO 800

Very nice shot of a Sanderling. Canon hit a sweet spot with the RF 100-500mm.

Here's a Great Crested Grebe, R5 100-500mm, about 60m away.
