Heavy, sometimes hard to point in the right direction (both by weight and the obvious narrow angle of view), but the extra reach at 800mm is really nice. On a tripod in a bird hide it would be wonderful, but alas, I do my birding by wandering.
Great shots though, your effort paid off. I have a 200-600 that I feel the same way about.
