Just the standard 18-55 and a 55-200. I have an ef convertor but the next step up in lenses is more than I can afford right now. I debated going back to full canon DSLR when I bought it but chose this due to the minimal size which makes it easier when travelling.

I see, sometimes kit lenses like the 55-200mm can be blurry.
I had a similar issue with my APC-S and the Nikon basic kits. I saw a huge difference going to my current Figma 24-105mm F4.
Best part is that the Figma full frame lens I mentioned above was the similar cost as the "kit" you buy for the entry cameras of both Nikon and Canon.
The whole thing came as a bundle when I bought the camera. I think with that picture it was struggling to focus on the robin and not the branches around it. All the other pics were unusable.

A good trick is to use the center Focus (4-6 points) mode instead of 3d or full frame.
Single point is way too hard to get proper focus if bird are away for me too.
Will give that a try if the weather is acceptable at the weekend.

Glad you got some extra work accomplished yesterday. (Still wish you had a day off at home, to eat donuts and watch old movies, though.)While I agree with the working hard part, being a private company, we just don’t get most of those gov’ment “holidays” off, and I’m actually good with that. Today was a very productive day for me at the office…!!!

I (think) maybe you're (also) referring to the earlier incident on Turn 4, with 80 laps left in the overall race (11 laps to go in that particular Stage, only). Tyler Reddick got turned by a push from Kevin Harvick -- chain car reaction happened with them, and Chase Elliott, Ryan Jones, Ryan Blaney and Daniel Suarez.IIRC, I came in at about lap 80-ish…?
Definitely fun to watch, but, just so much carnage…!!!!!
And yes, longest lap-wise, time-wise of course, and I think it came in 3rd all time for lead changes. From what I could tell, the Fords were leading the vast majority of the race, but, they’re all packed in like sardines for so much of the race (disregarding even pit stop lapping) that for whoever’s left in the race near the end, it’s a pitting strategy carp shoot, regarding fuel, tires, etc.
I didn’t like that occasional panorama shot; just no need for it, and it looked wonky to me.
What I saw of it was definitely fun to watch, though…!!!
The bigger incident was the one that happened right after the Green Flag pit stop, with just 11 laps left to go in the overall race. Tensions run so high toward the end of the 500, and it's like the drivers take more chances -- and just "go for it"!

Here's a bonus tidbit (about umbrellas over the race cars), that I copied from: The Daytona Beach News Journal (2/20, 4:23 pm)--
"Throughout the past few days, it's been common to see crew members shading their team's car, with three or four umbrellas while pushing it to and fro.
Turns out, the bodies of the Next Gen stock car is made of a composite material that may swell by a fraction of an inch in the heat and cause a team to fail technical inspection."
