[Nemorino]

Just a heron in a park but it caught two fish at once:

R5mk2 + RF 100-500L + 1.4TC
@1/4000s, f/10, iso5000

Another very nice series. Well done, Nemorino.

What a series, outstanding! The last one is just perfect!

These from today: baby Red-vented Bulbul, Chestnut Munia, Common Wax-bill and few White-rumped Shamas (one adult and few juniors from two different families).

That's a very nice series, ISv.

Came across juvenile Barn Swallows, who were being fed by a parent (R5ii+RF 200-800mm).

Beautiful series, Alan. I especially like the 3rd one.

Europe's smallest bird, the Goldcrest. Deep in the shade on a bright sunny day, these tiny 3.5Mpx crops are at iso 10000. 45Mpx on the R5 at 500mm f/7.1 not possible? Straight out of DxO.

Spooky sharp! Would asking to see original jpegs OOC for comparison be too much?

I don't use ooc jpegs. These are jpegs from RAWs processed by DxOPL 6 with absolutely standard settings using DeepPrime XD, and exposure reduced 0.5 stops. Nothing added above default settings or noise reduction etc by Topaz. Here is the full image reduced by 50% x 50% to upload here.

Amazing to see the quality of the details after the crop.

I can only dream for ISO 10 000 with APS-C sensor. Here are some from today: first one at ISO 3200, f6.3, -2/3EV. After that a baby Northern Cardinal + adult at ISO 4000, f6.3, -2/3 EV (resulting speed 1/500s). And the baby alone all the same but with correction -1EV 2/3 (it was chowing nonstop and without the speed of 1/1250 it's beak would be most probably fuzzy).
After that one more juvenile White-rumped Shama and few Japanese White-eye.

Very nice series, ISv. I really like the attitude and eye contact of the bird in the fifth one.

Actually, my images were cropped to much less than APS-C size, in fact to a crop factor of about 3.6, an even smaller sensor size than for the 2.7 for a 1” sensor.
