Excellent shots in the gallery, Adrian. You really nailed the Arrows.
When I mentioned the strap, the Nikon strap is certainly strong enough but it is just a standard strap. Do yourself a big favour and buy an Optech strap, it'll be the best £20 you've spent on camera gear... they are padded stretchy neoprene and make whatever you carry feel almost half the weight.
Although my Op/tech strap is rated to 7kg, the lower webbing didn't inspire confidence, so I snipped and changed for far wider (off an old Nikon strap for the 600/4)
cheers,
