Re: gull fly past
I've worked out that the Canon 400 mm f5.6L weighs 1610 grams (over 3.5 lbs) less than the Sigma 150 - 600 Sport. Does that make it a lot easier to follow a bird in flight? I find it tricky even with the Sigma C version, which is a lot lighter than the Sport.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100. Canon 10-18, 18 - 55, 55 - 250 IS STM lenses, Canon 16 - 35 mm F4L, 35 mm EF-S macro, 50 mm F1.8 STM, 60 mm EF-S macro, MPE-65 macro, 85 mm F1.8, 200 mm F2.8 L II, M 15 - 45 mm, M 22mm F2, M 32mm F1.4. Sigma 24 - 35 F2 Art, 135 mm F1.8 Art, 17 - 50 F2.8 DC, 105 mm OS macro, 100 - 400 C, 150 - 600 C.

Re: gull fly past
Also proof that you don't necessarily need IS, at 1/2500 it would be redundant, but some people do seem to think it's always essential.
but then again I'm a rather large chap
Once we get out of this dull dismal cloudy period, I'm going to the nearest bit of water to test out the Sigma 100 - 400 on the BH Gulls there (the only ones we have this far inland), never had much success with the bigger lens.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100. Canon 10-18, 18 - 55, 55 - 250 IS STM lenses, Canon 16 - 35 mm F4L, 35 mm EF-S macro, 50 mm F1.8 STM, 60 mm EF-S macro, MPE-65 macro, 85 mm F1.8, 200 mm F2.8 L II, M 15 - 45 mm, M 22mm F2, M 32mm F1.4. Sigma 24 - 35 F2 Art, 135 mm F1.8 Art, 17 - 50 F2.8 DC, 105 mm OS macro, 100 - 400 C, 150 - 600 C.

We all start around that percentage Chris, but generally, it gets better from there.
I used to have many images of just birds tails and many more images of just skies.Colin
