I really like this shot of the Herring Gull, sogs! The somewhat unusual pose, and the sharpness of the gull is quite appealing.

Thank you LD. The gull had just vomited.

Pardon my direct language. I was in awe of your photo.

I am still on the fence to buy into an RF body.

I'm sure EF or RF make no diffences in hands of professionals as you.:-)

Since there have some new technolody they said AI is embedded, BIF is more relaxed to shoot, from my own experience.

Below are selected from a bunch of burst of far-near-far scenario, I felt it's more relaxed than that if I did it with a DSLR (I do not mean it's better).

Terrific capture, EB! Very nice work!

Thanks both, appreciate the feedback on the Curlew landing. It was a really dull grey day, so I was pleased how this came out.

Super dramatic shot. Excellent composition and exposure. Not sure if he's going to land or attack his reflection! Very nice.

So much feather detail. On an Egret! You are the master of exposing both very dark and very bright birds! Nice work.
