I had 600... It weighed as nice RPG setup or more, and I still couldn't get a photo in most cases. That is I believe a very typical issue with most of wildlife. And if I could, the MFD was too long anyway for smaller birds for a frame filling shot... You have to be able to get close enough with any lens in both technical and practical sense.
I’ve found the 600 awesome. Mine has min focus distance of 4.5m. If my maths is right with angle of view 3.4 degrees, tan is .06, the minimum width of scene is 27cm and 18cm high for 3/2 sensor. So yes not frame filling for a small bird. On the other hand a small bird of 12cm or so is going to look very decent, subject to lighting of course!
