The Sacred Kingfishers have returned from their migration up north and I got a number of shots as the pair moved about their territory at the Royal National Park. Most are shot at 840mm but a couple with the bare 600mm once they got used to me and I could get a little closer. A smallish bird at only about 200mm (8") in length from tip of that huge beak to end of tail.
1) Sacred Kingfisher

3) Sacred Kingfisher. This was shot clear across the river about 15-20mts away and is a 100% crop.

It looks like you're making great use of the 600TC... Based on subject matter like this, I know you made the right choice in lens.
I really love the unique postures/expressions that you've captured throughout...
bravo my friend!
