The Bird is a Willie Wagtail -A Aussie favorite ruining the African savanna exhibition! They eat insects and Rhino attract insects?

That's weird. It shows the 200-600 with a TC in one set of exif, then the weird FL for the other one.

I do have a question though. Those shots sure don't need ISO 12800 and 1/2000 shutter speed. Why so fast? Were you trying to shoot Rhinos in Flight?

I was photographing Apostle birds that seemed to like the rhino enclosure. And, the Rhino were across from the Cheetah exhibition! That fast baby rhino _ took some waiting for him to stand up.
