[Cog]

Have you selectively sharpened the eye - the feathers around it seem much sharper than the rest?

No, I sharpened the whole picture in processing. It's just how it was shot.

Another very nice shot with the focus right on the eye. Lovely bokeh. Well done, Cog.

Thank you, Click!

EOS R3, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 1.4x III Extender, 1/2500 s, f/5.6, ISO 320

Gadwalls and Shovellers. The R5 + 100-500 never misses on these shots.

There's a guy who has a site where he compares different mirrorless for BIF. He rates the R5 highly, but he is using settings I would never use. He uses Case 3, which is the anti-tracking mode and designed to instantly focus on new things. I use settings that are usually recommended, Case 2 with tracking slider to the left and acceleration/deceleration to the right. I find the acquisition really fast and then it sticks like glue.

The formation is perfect on the first picture. Sharp subjects in this blur background, very nice shots, Alan.

Osprey at the river. This one was heavily backlit. I was all over the place trying to get a good exposure. I wasn't successful, but at least I got one usable shot in flight.

That reminded me to rework one I took of a Crested Serpent Eagle in Borneo with the 400mm DO II on the 5DIV.
