Thank you Joe, Charles and Fred!
Slowly I am getting more and more comfortable with this lens, at least for static birds... But I still have a lot of work to really control the beast. Here are few desert birds from today, when I drove a little off road on my way to work: Hooded wheatear Sony ILCE-7RM4 + Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G) | 600.0 mm | f/6.3 | 1/1600 sec | ISO 320 White-crowned wheatear (young) Sony ILCE-7RM4 + Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G) | 600.0 mm | f/6.3 | 1/800 sec | ISO 320 Desert lark Sony ILCE-7RM4 + Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G) | 600.0 mm | f/6.3 | 1/1000 sec | ISO 320 And finally, just in front of my work: Grey heron Sony ILCE-7RM4 + Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G) | 600.0 mm | f/6.3 | 1/1600 sec | ISO 320 |

I think I like this one best since it is the most colourful picture of the bunch. A tiny minus for the central composition.
But you certainly managed to find birds in more suitable shooting distance than I did today since I only photographed one bird from distance: White-tailed eagle (Haliaeeetus albicilla) α7R III + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/1600 s, ISO 320 I guess I might better get a teleconverter (or two). |

Thank you Fred and Hezu!
Hezu, thank you for the detailed comments. I agree with you. I was lucky with the gradient from the blue sky to the red mountains in the background in the photo of the hooded wheatear... Anyways, I am still at the stage of getting it technically right and I pay less attention to the aesthetics. And of course, it is mostly a desert background around here... The herons (and egrets and alike) as well as other water birds are very common in Eilat, especially around my work where there are some (artificial) water reservoirs which are rich with algae and fish. Regarding getting a teleconverter, alternatively, you can come to Israel with your birding club... And just to end with a photo, here is one of the same individual of White-crowned wheatear as above (photo was taken just before he landed on the branch in the photo above): Sony ILCE-7RM4 + Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS (SEL200600G) | 600.0 mm | f/6.3 | 1/1000 sec | ISO 320 |

Thank you These were two juveniles from one nest (of four). They (all four) were starting to quarrel and fight, so this was the last chance for shooting the pair. |

This Great Horned Owl has made his/her daylight perch very convenient for me.
