I got it the day before yesterday and went out yesterday to test it at my 'happy place'.
Here is a selection of images, shot on the Canon R6MkII, hand-held, available light, seriously downsized in PS to post, with default lens corrections and some cropping.

Emu: 481mm, f/8, 1/500sec, ISO-2500
Emu: 300mm, f/7.1, 1/320sec, ISO-800
2xStick Insects: R6 RF 200-800@200mm, f/7.1, 1/160sec, ISO-6400
Stick Insect: 200mm, f/7.1, 1/40sec, ISO-6400

Brolga: 277mm, f/7.1, 1/320sec, ISO-500
Serval: RF 200-800@800mm, f/9, 1/500sec, ISO-6400
Serval: RF 200-800@ 311mm, f/8, 1/400sec, ISO-5000
Serval: 250mm, f/8, 1/320sec, ISO-2000
I was particularly pleased to get three shots of the Serval (the cat). It is reclusive in any case, but because it has incredibly good hearing - it can hear a mouse underground- it is inclined to face away from humanity because we make so much noise.
Overall, I was very impressed with the performance of this lens.

Yet again i'm stunned how sharp RF lenses are. Excellent images! I particularly admire your consistent color balance.That's something i struggle with
