I decided to lighten the load and switched to my tamron 55BB 500mm mirror. I usually use my NX20 with this lens because of the advantage 5x/7x focus mag gives in the evf. Particularly when cropping a lot there is zero focus latitude, millimetric adjustment required. At least the tamron has a big focus throw - much superior to the off-brand ones, vintage and current, in that respect.
Meadow pipit.
Little ringed plover, this was the best of a bunch of shots. Only slightly smaller than the ringed plover, quickest point of ID is the black bill as opposed to yellow with black tip.
