    That's me now changed to mirrorless and the new camera arrived last week.....It was a choice between the R5 and the R6....After a lot of thought, and prompted by Steve, I decided to go for the R6....I am glad I did....The focus system compared to my 1DX Mk2 is amazing.....I love my 1DX Mk2, and the original 1DX, so I now have three cameras, and all three serve a purpose.....To test the R6, I decided to go to a set up made to attract a Sparrowhawk near to the Scottish borders....The Sparrowhawk did show , which I photographed, along with other birds, but when this Tawny Owl arrived I was very surprised, and fair chuffed, as these birds are nocturnal and rarely seen in daylight, I reckon it must have been feeding young...It returned 3 times within an hour......I must say, that I used the mechanical shutter, as I found this felt better for me on this occasion...Gimbal Head, attached to a plate in the hide, processed with ACR, Topaz DN and PS.....
