the bird

was in reality more coincidental, plus me being extremely clumsy with my settings and handling. Surprisingly - i did "catch" the bird deep in a bush, before it flew away second later.

Like I said, i haven't used my Canon EOS R6 for a long time. And I certainly have no experience of fast moving birds with that setup. So, i stood there later, trying to find the right settings *LOL*

It is said in Germany:

"Übung macht den Meister" (Practice makes the Master)

And that is true.

In Sweden we say "Övning ger färdighet" (Practice creates skills)

True.
