First serious time out shooting with the 100-400L. Quite like this little lens!
Got several nice shots of this fellow. Really wish the sun played nicer. Had to juggle ISO and low-shutter speeds to get something useable. Wish I had my tripod with me!

What I really like is the piercing eye and the profile look! Unfortunately that's where it ends. The bright sunlight completely blew out any detail of the white feathers, the whole aspect of which is arguably made worse through the pseudo-hdr like processing.
Nice bright eye with this, but either the distance, the crop factor, or the editing gave this a bit of a digital/pixelized feel, if that makes sense. Very good isolation - probably a factor of that massive lens!
