In just a few minutes this evening, I took these small birds in my back garden. All were between 10-14m and taken at 800mm with the R5. Dunnock, female Greenfinch, Longtailed Tit, Eurasian Robin and male Greenfinch. I also saw a Jay, and heard Blue Tits, Great Tits, Wren, Chiffchaff, Bullfinch, Nuthatch, Blackcap 
and Song Thrush.

...only a rather mediocre image first--a bug and a seed are in place...
=====
...and last, I had never given much thought to how a pair of wings on a bird are unfurled:
...sort of looks a bit like a galaxy swirl?! In any event, for this particular Brown Thrasher, the left wing spreads prior to its right wing counterpart.
The right wing--a bit slow.
[EDIT: ...more like a propeller?]

Thanks. The thought came to me as I got the shot; kind of meaningful in that this was an image that I really really hoped would turn out.And goes well with the comment: "I am...Batman."
