My wife using the R6 + RF 100-400 showed fewer Mpx and shorter narrower lens in the shade work. Robin, Nuthatch, Bluetit and Dunnock.

Very good photos Alan! You missed to name the female Siskin (#3 of your series and #4 of your wife series).
I hope everything is OK after the storm?

They are female Chaffinches. Female Siskins have striped breasts and a more pointed beak, and generally more streaky.

I watched some Night Herons fishing today. Was surprised when one adult went few meters far from the water and regurgitate a fish (after practically killing it) near an juvenile.
Didn't know they are feeding them at such a late age?

You are right. That relatively well marked supercilium is not what I remember...

Very nice shots, ISv.

I never understood how they can eat crab. Those are really HARD to swallow!!!

I wonder if the crab is pinching at his insides! lol

Here's a few more shots I got of the Cedar Waxwings from the other day. These were them down by the watering hole.

They are mangrove sprouts. Some of them will be trees.

Most probably pneumatophores: https://ocean.si.edu/ocean-life/plants-algae/mangroves

Nice gif - shows much more than a single shot.

Nice gif - shows much more than a single shot.

Thank you!
The high frame rate of the R5 pushes to make GIFs as You know.
And I often take to much pictures of one situation and wonder what to do with all of them.
