The paddyfield pipit, or Oriental pipit,[2] (Anthus rufulus) is a small passerine bird in the pipit and wagtail family. It is a resident (non-migratory) breeder in open scrub, grassland and cultivation in southern Asia east to the Philippines. Although among the few breeding pipits in the Asian region, identification becomes difficult in winter when several other species migrate into the region. The taxonomy of the species is complex and has undergone considerable changes.

There's a huge challenge getting sharp pictures with very long focal lengths on an Sony A7R because of the first curtain mechanical shutter. The Canon cameras, however, are honed for sports where perfection at long telephoto lengths is a must. Here, your handheld images with such fine detail in the feathers, demonstrates the reason for Canon's reputation with their super telephoto lenses!

Kudos to you. I hope you get to print these pictures very large!

Pao,

It's so impressive that you can carry such a weight of a 800 mm lens on a anyway heavy Canon body and get the pictures handheld. That has to be a backache! Why not a monopod, or that would just get in the way?

Interesting that I don't see any moiré here with the 5Ds R. It should occur with such fine patterns but there seems to be none. Is that your general experience?
