The combination of the super-telephoto reach and the R5’s excellent detail retention at distance allowed me to capture the bird’s soft gray head, warm cinnamon-rufous throat, white underparts, and vivid red eye while remaining completely unobtrusive.</P> <P>The RF800 f/11 proved once again to be an outstanding tool for ethical long-range wildlife photography, delivering sharp results without needing to approach the subject.</P> <P>©2026 Adam Rainoff Photographer</P> Sun, 14 Jun 2026 14:12:09 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Capturing-a-Dwarf-Cuckoo-at-Long-Range-with-the-Canon-R5-and/m-p/599031#M11386 adamrainoff 2026-06-14T14:12:09Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Capturing-a-Dwarf-Cuckoo-at-Long-Range-with-the-Canon-R5-and/m-p/599048#M11391 <P>Nicely done</P> Sun, 14 Jun 2026 15:35:37 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Capturing-a-Dwarf-Cuckoo-at-Long-Range-with-the-Canon-R5-and/m-p/599048#M11391 LeeP 2026-06-14T15:35:37Z
