While waiting for the RPFC this pair perched just a few meters inside my lens' MFD so I needed to slowly back off and was able to shoot it at 8m distance a good 2.5m away from the MFD.
If I have know this pair was followed by the RPFC around I would have shot the RPFC at the same distance that was perched just to my left and only saw it when I took my eyes off the VF when the MBFC pair flew to another branch. I wasn't able to train my camera on it as it went and followed the pair.
Only on successive sorties that I realized what was happening. By following the MBFC family, the RPFC was an easy bird to find. :-)
