You are right - there is motion blur in the second gull picture. The 100-400 II is a heavy SOB (eg compared to the Sigma 100-400)

Know exactly what you mean! I spent a year shooting with the EF 100-400ii (+/- 1.4x iii) on the M6ii.  Not ideal ergonomically, but do-able.  Results could be stunning though!

and I didnt realize 1/1000 is not enough for IS at maximum zoom. Still learning to use super-teles!

It's always tough to find that balance between (adequate) shutter speed and adequate IQ (from the varying ISOs).  I've always leaned toward higher shutter speeds myself for birds.
