Looks exactly like this, thank you!Another batch of great images! That second one is, I believe, a yellow-crowned night heron.

Thank you, Click!Beautiful series, Oskar. I especially like the last picture. Well done.
Happy New Year!
Yep, you definitely wasted your money Henry, 24mp !!!! What were you thinking?Nope...the naysayers were right...24mp just isn't enough for birding!
I wish for all of you an exciting, adventurous and fulfilling New Year! It's been a privilege these past 12 months to learn so much here at CR, and to see the images you've shared. I'm thankful for the opportunity to share a few of my own from time to time. Here's my final submissions for 2021, taken the day after Christmas. R3 + RF 100-500 + 2x TC

Do you think it works better with T.Cs ? Is the AF still pretty snappy ?
Does the R3 acquire focus well for birds in flight ?
Happy New Year Henry
Thanks, Click! That’s my favorite.Nice series, becceric. I especially like the second shot.
I like the cold whiteness of these photos. I'm sure the bird does not!Sparrow fluffed up in the frigid cold outside our den window yesterday afternoon...View attachment 201864View attachment 201865
Happy New Year everyone! See you next year!I like the cold whiteness of these photos. I'm sure the bird does not!
Sounds awesome Henry, try watching some videos by Ron L Bielefeld on YouTube "Whistling Wings Photography" he's just bought an R3 and he's got a video about setting it upHi Chig,
TLDR - I've been lazy and haven't put in sufficient effort to really figure this camera out.
It definitely drives the lenses faster compared to the R5 and acquires focus faster in general. I've got a mixed bag of results with BIF, but in all honestly that's mostly on me not the camera. Single bird shots, yeah it will lock on and track it no problem. Flock of hundreds of snow geese...I was sooo confused trying to pick one out! but that's fully my fault haha.
Truth be told, I'm struggling a bit to master the new tracking features - as a result I can get good results tracking, but not consistently. I've had limited outings with it, and haven't paid much attention to what I do each time out when I do get the good result. This is easily the most capable camera I've owned, but I'm kind of stuck in my old ways and not taking advantage of it's advanced tracking, etc. Trying to force myself to do it, but...well...old dog, new tricks, ya know?
Still, no regrets or reservations at all. I've enjoyed it from day one, for portraits and easier subjects the output is fantastic. It's the BIF and things like that where I need to put in the work - and I will. Soon. Really. No kidding.
Happy New Year, Chig!
Great action shot, AlanF!Here's another Mocking Bird, the Galapagos. First the Mexican standoff and then one from the protracted kickboxing fight - they are famously territorial.

Great shots, Chig! Are most of the birds you see located only in New Zealand? I just wonder how Darwinism affects birds with different flight ranges over oceans.This is a Riroriro (Grey Warble) in a Totara tree in Silverdale Auckland NZView attachment 201846
