Me as well.  They are kind of new around here, we used to not see them just a couple of years ago but we are seeing them with more frequency now.

Cool.

Do you still have a 50mm f/1.8? You could get some serious background blur with that. Just a suggestion of course.

Dunlin,

Yes, I do.

I'll have to remember to use it more often.

I like your swans.  At the long end of the telephoto lens, when the birds are separated like that, it's hard to keep them all in focus.  Sometimes I pick a point in between the birds in hopes that I can get them all in focus, those in front and those in back.

How does the Canon T8i (850D) camera compare to the R6?  Are there plus and minuses to both cameras?  I'm also using two Canon M50 MKII mirrorless cameras.  I think Canon is "nudging" us towards the R system.
