Awesome shots! Daft Q but are those bumps (two in front of the rear tail and one near center of the underside) radar reflectors so it shows up on primary radar?

Thanks! Not sure about the radar reflectors.

Great series of photos - wish I had been there.

Thanks! It was my first time there. Absolutely loved it even though the weather could have been a bit better. At least it wasn't raining all day though!

Well it just convinced me to place and order for the 150-600! Did you buy the sigma USB dock for this? (did you need it?)

I bought it thinking the lens wouldn't come with the latest firmware, but it did. I used it to assign modes to the C1 and C2 switches on the lens as well - focus speed and stabilisation etc. so yeah, I think it's a worthwhile investment.
