Graham, Eric, 
I find the D500 much better for BIF as the focus points cover the whole viewfinder whilst on the D850 it is only in the central part.  
Centre circle and its wings, ;-)

Or have I got something set in my CSM menus that prevents me getting the outer screen peripherals, above and below, included?

All suggestions welcome.

Don't quite understand the need to focus at the edge of the frame?  With a bird in flight I find I need to keep it dead centre or I run the risk of clipping a wing. I have single spot focus as default on the back AF (thumb) button with Group and Wide area assigned to the front function button and dof preview button respectively,  which I can use as required instead of the thumb for more challenging subjects. 
Not sure what I am missing? But would welcome everyone's thoughts.
