Nice shooting Nick!!! I notice your exposures seem to be right on the money.(the last shot of the seagull was a little hot though)
I see you are shooting in the manual mode. Do you feel that this is what\'s giving you such good detail in your highlight\'s?(As opposed to Av or Tv mode)
I see this in your last couple of posts!!
BTW...What settings are you using for C.Fn.III-2,4,5and 8 if you don\'t mind sharing.
Thanks,

Yeah, the last gull shot has blown highlights on the head. Forgot to recover than in post.
It was pretty clear that day with virtually no cloud coverage so it was pretty easy getting the exposure as close to correct as possible. Perfect condition to be in M mode. Just set it and shoot. I think that contributes to the apparent detail, but I think good detail can be attributed to the AF system on the camera and the 200L + 2X combo shot at f7.1. I rarely if ever use Av/Tv mode in consistent lighting.
As for the CF\'s...
C.Fn III-2: Slowest or second slowest
C.Fn III-4: 1
C.Fn III-5: 0
C.Fn III-8: 2
which pretty much mirrors the settings I used to use in the 1DMKIII. This is what seems to yield the best results for me for BIF...from a non-birder\'s point of view that is!
