As you see from seagulls pix now following help I had from my RPS expert bird pix friends I am getting good sharp pictures of birds at last!
Also the extra battery pack on the D810 has boosted focus speed of my 80-400 lens. I think the best bit of advice was do not use 51 point focus for flying birds (Nikon do tell you in instruction book to use this for flight pix bad news!!!!) as it lets camera take photographs when camera is not quite in focus. The 9 point setting was used on the seagull pix and that is very nice and sharp as were plenty of other pix I did on same day.
When you get skills of following better also try on old friend single focus point best of all.
