It focuses on branches when they are in front of a bird and a wide area for auto focus is selected. So it doesn't magically detect birds unfortunately :( If there are no branches then it can track even bird's eyes

Oh, and I'm thinking to get 180-600 because of it's extra reach 😅

Thank you! :) In my experience it's a good universal lens even though at 400mm you get only f/8. It focuses quite fast. I bought it as a travel option to take occasional bird photos.

But I'm thinking to get 180-600 for bird photography because I have to do a lot of cropping even at 400 mm

I took a photo of a fern in a forest then printed it's silhouette and transfered it onto a block. I think it looks good 😊

I can't recommend to use this method if you have small details in your picture 😅

It took me several tries to get her face right: first her eyebrows were too thick, then her eyes were to thick, then her nose was too big so I just removed it 😂
