I'm not good with bird ID, so all I can say is that's it's a crow, raven, or rook (or maybe even something else). I really like the RAW burst feature, but I did get this weird effect with the bird's eyes on some (a bit under half) of the images. Here's what I'm talking about:NormalWeirdNormalWeirdNormalWeirdAnyone have any idea what's going on here? Is it connected with e-shutter (RAW burst mode exclusively uses e-shutter)? Do birds (some at least) have a sort of film that sometimes covers their eyes? It's actually kind of a cool effect, and makes the bird look extra ominous.For me, it kind of kills an otherwise great shot. Once in a while, my first pick will happen to be one that is blinking...So I'll go to the shot before or after, and use it to clone in a wide open eye 🙂 It's pretty easy, and typically pulls it off in a way that is 100% undetectable 🙂👍Well, luckily, I got so many shots both with and without the membrane that I don’t need to do that.I usually do to. But if I'm in a pinch 🙂When the camera is shooting 30fps you’re pretty much guaranteed to get plenty with both looks. Having said that, I actually think the blue eye look is kind of cool. It makes the bird look possessed.

I didn't have it on my computer so you get the big bird
