Nice.
The first image (male stone chat, apparently) looks a little odd, like it's some sort of composite. Or even a stuffed bird set on a log.
Is it just my cognitive issues?
I like the RF 800 F/11. My main dislike of it is its minimum focusing distance (about 6m), too long for small birds.

Certainly not a composite. Editing was quite minimal on that one, just a crop and topaz Denoise. The light was very harsh in the midday so then I dropped the highlight slider. Other than that, it was as is.
6M sounds a lot, but it isn’t too bad. A number of the shots presented are small birds relatively close. The shore birds I did later switch to my EF100-400II as they grew quite comfortable and came 2-4m away. I am sure it will be frustrating at times, but I tend to know in advance so have the opportunity to select the right lens. I was on Saturday photographing a rarity for the UK, a summer coloured Sabine’s Gull. I heard it was coming in very close so selected the 100-400II instead Niw I can see where the term “Gull wing doors” came from.

Just enjoying photography
