I badly misunderstood something... I shouldn't do several things in the same time and should read more carefully the posts.
I apologize (apologise?)!

It's cool. You should watch me simultaneously eat breakfast and type.

The Cormorant is in breeding colour. I love their green eyes.

Me too, I've got to stop sucking my thumb and crying while looking at bats!

Love how the crow looks like this is not its first rodeo, not by a long shot!

Maybe I should focus on something smaller than herons...

Unexpectedly came across some flying Swifts. I had the RF 200-800mm and thought it wouldn't be up to it with the AF. But, I was pleased to find that zoomed out to 400mm it actually kept up with them and most were tack sharp.

I went back today with the RF 100-500mm on the R5, my favourite combination for fast BIF, also zoomed out to 400mm. It was pretty similar, and very sharp at 400mm.

Took some shots of Marsh Harriers today. On downloading, I saw one was flying around with something in its beak, which got transferred to its talons, then dropped. (R5/200-8800mm).
