What an amazing shot!
I see you took it with a 5DS R. May I ask how much this was cropped?

Hi Levina....here is the sizing from a Lightroom screen grab to give you a good idea of crop relative to 100%. Going by the finished size of crop 2817x1833 its around a 70% crop on the long side . ( 100% RAW is approx 8700mp x 5800mp )

That's impressive.
And looking at the film strip the camera has no problem tracking these little bullets!

Thank you very much for the screenshot, Clipper. Much appreciated.

No worries....Mind you my film track doesnt show you the other 300 deleted shots I had to take of these guys just to get a couple in focus you see in the film track .... It was that hard I actually had to prefocus in manual focus mode because tracking was just too slow for these little birds ..especially with their erratic flight paths/movements ...HAving said that I must say now Ive learned how to best use the AF tracking on this camera the tracking for bigger birds is spot on.......It really works well.
