Surprise walking around my street in the gloom this afternoon - a Red-legged Partridge (R5/100-500 iso 6400). It wasn't scared at all and so I guess it might have escaped from a shoot.

My only knowledge of the partridge comes from the Christmas song. And is the song wrong?

Do partridges not live in pear trees?!

…and actually prefer the ground?


Nice shot…a nice demonstration of the close-focusing ability of the RF 100-500 lens?

Sparrowhawk - ISO 6400, Canon R5 , 100-500mm. There was a time not long ago that ISO 6400 would have meant the photograph was destined for the bin. The improvement in ISO performance have been amazing

I love Sparrowhawks. iso6400 on the R5 with PL6 or Topaz is like 1600 10 years ago on a DSLR FF.
