Ok, not bird photography but near enough .....hummingbird moth dancing around meant the D500 had to be on high speed performance. Attachment: CD8E50CB-FB29-4FA9-989A-E9D1ED9D9DC5.jpeg (Downloaded 18 times)

Great shots Eric. I have had those in the garden in Spain. Some can be almost as large as a real humming bird!

It was very difficult. It may be easier with the D500 but still very tricky as they hardly stay still for very long!

Sorry, my Mmmm... might have translated in a way I hadn't intended. I love the flowers and the moth, I also very much like the totally blurred background while maintaining nice depth of focus on the flower AND the moth. I am wondering if this was taken with the 300 PF? If so at what aperture?

There is no doubt that the D500 AFC is awesome. I've got the camera set up with the rear AF button on single point focus AFC and the fn1 button set to 9point focus AFC ...with shutter set to Ch. If I can't keep the focus area on the subject with single point, I can quickly use the 3rd finger to switch to 9point. There's no doubt having enough viewfinder space to track the subject helps ....but of course that then means some degree of cropping loss. So it presents a dilemma.
