    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    Thanks, there was very little processing done - converted from RAW - Tiff then just noise reduction and a bit of sharpening before saving as a jpeg for the web.

    White or Pied Wagtail (UK)

    Picture taken at the beginning of November last year. I original had it as a Pied but a few people has suggested that it is a White, looking at my Collins Guide I am still not sure.

    Meadow Pipit or Skylark (UK)

    I can never be sure about these two when in flight.

    Ruff? (UK)

    Is this a Ruff?

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Here is another shot from my local patch but this time taken with the 800mm f11 lens (gives 1280mm FF FOV). This is a amazing value for money lens IMO (I paid £650). Its a glossy Ibis.

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Yes I got mixed up with another pic I had just posted in another forum which I took with the 800mm f11 lens with which I often use the 20mm limiter when shooting in the estuary. I have now correct.

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I am still very much enjoying the R7 for birds, the number of keepers compared with my old 7d2 is off the charts. The attached shot was using a 1.4x converter on my RF 100-500 which works brilliantly with very little reduction in IQ, this combo gives 1120mm FF FOV and is easily hand-holdable...

    Thank you for all the replies, Little Egret it is then.

    This one looked way bigger than a Little egret, could it be a Great white without the yellow bill? (breeder!) We have Great whites with yellow bills locally.

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Hi Mike, I am a little surprised that you are getting such a small keeper rate, I shoot with the Electronic shutter at 15 fps in Craw and almost always just take a burst of around 1/2 sec or so which gives 7 or 8 very similar images - there may be 1 or 2 that are not pin sharp when viewed at...

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I find the R7 + 100-500 a very good combo for birds in flight (attached shot taken with this combo). With my 800/11 lens it can be difficult to find the bird in the viewfinder and when you do it is sometimes difficult to keep it inside the smaller AF area - when you do the R7 latches on OK. I...

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    I will not be getting one as I already have the RF100-500 (brilliant lens even with the 1.4x tc attached) and 800/11 - what puts me off the 200-800 is the addition weight over my two current birding lenses (albeit it is still relatively light for what it is). I some times use the 800/11 in...

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    There is no reason why this should not be a sharp lens and f9 is nothing these days with today's noise reduction software (I use Topaz Denoise AI) high(ish) ISO is no problem. I have a 800 f11 (£650 new) and that's plenty sharp enough so the 200-800 should be fine.
