But still, lots of fun and new possibilities. Ironically I now have longer reach with my fullframe than with my APS-C camera

Yes, it’s hard enough getting it in view (even with the 600mm) and then getting it in the limited AF area and keeping it there if in flight etc! Good practice for your aiming though and, as you say, good fun + can confirm the 600mm has the same limited AF area.
PS….I’ve a mate who uses his 800mm with a 2x extender (on a tripod) and that’s certainly more reach than I’ve ever had with an APS-C!
