don't know if the lack of sharpness is duo to slow shutter speed or bad AF

The incredibly rare 4 winged Canada Goose

Wow! A pair at that! You are on to something! I can't believe nobody congratulated you yet! I guess they are plain jealous.

Actually it is a very nice photo.
He is kind of flying towards you. That makes it rather difficult for the 600D AF. 1/640 should be ok but 1/1000 would have been better (although ISO goes up and ending up with more noise)

Thanks candyman, yeah this was one of 7 continuous shots, the 600D couldn't track as it gone from behind a tall weed to below the central focus point, and its the only one useable, if i can call it that , that's why i asked the question of which to get first 6D or 7D MK II, I don't think the 6D will be better than my 600D

For this type of photography I would recommend the 7D MKII. But you already know the 7D MKII is the right tool for that. Otherwise it is compromise. A combination of 6D and 7D MKII is about the price of a 5D MKIII. Only in the upper league you will get one camera that can handle all type of photography very well.

Some wonderful shots here, here is one that I'm very proud of.

I had just started my walk around Hawley Meadows (Farnborough, Hants) when I saw a large shadow go in front of me on the ground. I look up and see this Red Kite circling me, quite low. I put my finger on the shutter and just kept taking pictures, hoping that at least one would come out OK, and to my surprise I got this very good result

Have the 200-400 on loan this week and was sitting on my back porch watching the bluejays eat my deer's corn....
Wasn't really paying attention to settings as much as enjoying a coffee/scenery so a little noisy (ISO 5000)
