Eric thanks for that.
I too find small bird photography very hard to get focus perfect. I think the D500 is slightly better than the D850 at small moving birds, but both camreas have very good auto focus compared with all earlier Nikon DSLRs I have owned over the years.
The D500 with my big Nikon 500mm AF-S f4 lens works very well but needs to be on a good tripod with video fluid head tripod for best results. On the Kingfisher shoot with this set up in a hide for a day and taking nearly 500 pictures I had hardly any focus problems. Malcolm at same time was also using D500 but with Nikon 80-400 lens on tripod and also had very good ressults with auto focus.
