I spent a few hours at a local nature area to get some practice in photographing birds. This is new for me and it's definitely not easy. They were pretty skittish and with some having babies they hid in the reeds a lot. Even with an RF100-500 these are heavily cropped on an R5. It was cloudy which helped with butterflies and flowers, but not so much with the wildlife. I can't decide whether they would have been a little sharper with a tripod/monopod or it's due to distance. It was peaceful out there and it was wonderful hearing all the different calls.
