Some impressive stuff in here! I'm still learning so these aren't anywhere up to the standard, but I'm trying :)
1. Marsh Harrier
2. Common Buzzard
3. European Kestrel
<edit> should have said, all taken with the EOS-R and 600mm f11.

I have replaced my Sigma 150-600 C with the Canon 100-500. While I miss the reach it is faster focusing most of the time.

I very briefly had a Sigma 150-600mm Sports, see below shots. The only two I took with it before returning as it kept locking up my new R7.

Swallowed hard and got the RF 100-500mm L

Yes, faster focus and MUCH smaller/lighter. Looking forward to getting some eagle shots with it soon.
