I did some birding shots earlier in the year beside a guy who had the Nikon 600mm f4.
I bet your back lasts longer than his!
The back should be OK ta. I have a stainless steel and titanium spine (true story).
In bird hides I can rest on the 'windowsill' but otherwise I'll break out the old monopod that I used for motorcycle race photography back in the days of 100 ASA slide film.
Looking forward to it.

We are waiting for your feedback and some sample pics!
Thanks. I'll be fine tuning the AF as soon as the sun comes out, then finding out what it can do.
