By upping the ISO irrespective on a gimbal you have a better SS just in case it fractionally moves. IS is good, much better with RF glass but the 600mm is the only lens I currently would rate, plus you could got to say f/7.1, 5.6 could be OK but without seeing the raw its hard to say. Cases try Auto, it does quite a good job here or Case 1.
Re the image I would like a bit more below I find it a fraction tight, colours appear flat, just a bit more depth in terms of colouring, albeit the weather seems overcast and a wee bit 'direct'. The plumages being bedraggled in the face is cool and gives the subject more character. If the Tawnys are anything like Barn owls they will not hunt in the wet.

PS there is another product Topaz will probably launch next month, might be more of a gimmick, but Im sure a lot of folk again will buy into it as it encapsulates three areas.
