I think a 500mm lens would have been better for the yellowlegs because lighting was dull... so ISO high. Cropping in those situations always tends to result in less than ideal clarity. Having said that, there wa a guy in the hide with an 800mm and he kept saying.."it's too close for me now". Personally I would love a 500mm with the integral switchable 1.4x tc. I think with the D500 that would be a good flexible and fast combination. Really don't understand Nikon just fitting that feature to a zoom lens.

It does seem odd, i know from a sports point of view a 300 or 400 2.8 with a internal tc would be great.

I suspect if they made tc switching so easy, it could impact on zoom sales! I rarely use all the focal lengths on a zoom....normally use the two extremes. So a switchable tc on a prime would be far more useful.

Lovely image, Graham My wife says ...can you grab a couple for her and bring them up in September?  35 years ago we were driving to Norwich ton the scenic route. As we approach a cross roads that was new to me I looked at the signpost. NB this was before sat navs!! Sitting on the sign was a little owl. Not sure which of us was more surprised but we sat and looked at each other for several seconds before it flew off in the direction of Norwich. So we followed the owl. It was the first and only time I have seen a little owl in the wild. But every time I go past that junction I always check the signpost.
