A serious challenge for even a highly skilled photographer. Birds are fast, erratic, often very small and most fly! Long top quality lenses with limited depth of field will a lot of the time not fill the frame. Many of the latest Nikon DSLR have very high def sensors so advantge to enlarge final image. First class high ISO performance also aids fast shutter speeds and sharp pictures of moving subjects in often poor light. Nikon Cameras like D500 and D850 fit the bill and their ability to track and lock focus quickly is vital to good results.Low noise at high ISO also great help. Yesterday with another photographer friend we were at a first class workshop on bird photography at Blashford Lakes Reserve in Hampshire. Lots to learn and the rain held off so we had a some time in the hides to take a few pictures, this Greenfinch kindly posed for me. Nikon D850 with 80-400mm AF-S lens with x1.4: 370mm. 2000 ISO 1/500 sec f9.
