LIving close to heathland we have two or three Red Kites fly over occasionally. I've been trying to get photos of these BiF for ages now but either they are to high, even with the RF800 f11, or I have got the wrong lens on my R5 when they make an appearance. These are my latest attempts but only had my EF 100-400 II L on the camera at the time. This resulted in a fair amount of cropping. Having viewed the many excellent BiF images on this forum I feel there is still room for my improvement. Practice makes perfect as they say.

Lovely shots Ken. We moved to Shropshire earlier this year and see quite a few of them over here now. They fly over our house now and again but I've yet to get a decent shot.

    Excellent Beginner's Camera, and a Very Good Enthusiasts Camera
    The R50 is a fine entry level/beginner/casual stills camera. It is not a pro level camera, but would be fine for hiking, street, family photos...
