Canon R5 MkII + RF 800mm

1/1250s speed, which might have benefitted from being a little faster!

      Beautiful shots. Especially all of them. Each has a unique quality of effort of flight.

      Love them, as always! Are they in reverse chronological order? If so, it looks like the bird is loading themselves like a spring before taking off.

      Wow, very impressive!

      Is the bird still a little out of focus or is it just me?

      Impressive nevertheless.

        Somewhere between focus and motion blur (and for that matter focus not keeping up with the motion component that was towards me) there’s still issues, that’s for sure. Not helped by the birds being at quite a distance away - there was a pair, and the bottom right photo is, I think, of a different bird planning to take off next. That photo is the one where the focus surely could have been sharper, but I’d guess grass and ground clutter threw things.

        ISO1000 won’t have helped, but the camera usually works well at even ISO4000.
