Thanks. No he was not making any sound. Jokes aside, I guess he just was shaking his head and perhaps digesting his food of the last night. Sometimes our imagination goes beyond the reality.

I can't remember how near or far the birds have been, as this was back in 2017. And there were so many birds, especially at Lake Manyara.English is not my first language either - don't apologize: I didn't even notice your "mistake" (actually what you are talking about?). All I was talking about was the distance to the bird and I was really curious how it behaved when you where there (especially with these chicks present!) - just to learn something new...
Concerning the English - if the guys here with English as a first language start putting red flags on my posts - it would be very colorful
Maybe you can tell from the full image. This was at 300mm with a 7D2.
I wasn't sure if I shall post this photo, as it is not a very good one. But I find the bird and the scene kind of funny and bizarre. I've never seen one of these before, so maybe this is also new for you.
The bird is called Marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) and the photos were taken in central Serengeti. You can find them sitting on trees and around water holes.

It is certainly their way to stay away from predators. Nice shots, Oskar.
Another Godwit.......This time used the RF 100-500 + 1.4TC
I took out the RF 800mm + 1.4x at 1120mm (f/16 iso 1250 1/640s) on the R5 on Sunday to try it out on some very distant birds across a pond. A Little Grebe in non-breeding plumage was about all I saw, 30-40m away. The lens does quite a good job.
