Thanks for that, it's always interesting to read experiences from the step-up to the real heavyweight lenses.
I'm surprised that you haven't noticed the increased minimum focus distance, but this may be something you notice as time goes on when shooting smaller birds... alleviated a bit by teleconverters and/or extension tubes.
I'd get some camo covering for the lens if I were you. Even with a big black Nikon, the solid mass of black is off-putting to birds.
cheers
