Finally, got my hands on R5 and it is a different beast and eye-AF is fantastic even with slow lenses.
R5 + RF 800mm is a good combo set for farther away birds that does not affect wallet, arm and elbow that much.
All pictures last weekend at -18C right after the snow storm. There is some ice build up on the feather and forehead of the birds.
