Attachment 121323
Low and slow - patiently moving forward.
It will get you close and not stress your subject.
Both images with 600mm lens, both full frame. It only took 21 minutes to get an image of my subject fairly large in the frame.

Great points on working a subject. Often we see something attractive and fire away or get close,.not really close enough for the strong shot. Nice reminder there Capt.,, to be patient and stay low and photograph nature at there eye level - not ours.
Thanks for the tip. Very nicely done. I just got the 500 L II and use a 7D body. Any tips on hand holding the lens? Or is it best to use a tripod/monopod? I have been using the 100-400 L prior to this.
Interesting information here.
Would you be able to evaluate your distance to subject in both images?
Maybe in the EXIF data? Some cameras do store this information.
I guess you would use quite a different approach strategy if your subject was more active (e.g. passerines) ?
