...i took these with my 400 L with the 1x4 extender on giving me 560mm,

And you've a cropped sensor so you've an equivalent 560 x 1.6 = 896mm !! God bless the APS-C sensor for wildlife shooting!! lol

Wonderful shots mate. Really special.

Are these with tripod, John?

Does the teleconverter reduce the aperture?
