Eastern Grey Kangaroos in the rain

Recently I got my hands on the Canon RF 400mm 2.8 IS L Lens, and yes she has a name, it's "Lucille".

It is an absolute beast, more stories to come on it but whilst it was drizzling through a cold Victorian Autumn day I thought I'd sneak down into the paddocks in full Ghillie Suit and how close I could get to a small mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos.

It didn't work..

That said, before I was spotted, I did get a couple of nice shots from the distance. With a heavy crop, images are below. The incredible thing is that this was @560mm and 1/125s with my shaky hands and no tripod!
