Got my R6 today and tried to get it set up. First with the 24-105l and this one with the RF100-400, the AF just isn’t finding these birds. What am I doing wrong?

It kept locking on the fence. Earlier when I was using the shorter lens, it kept locking on a lawn chair in the corner.

Simple answer - they're too small in the shot.
