The funniest one was this Great Tit. One peck at its seed/nut and it shot off the branch. Managed to capture the bemused moment ...

I dropped the file size at the upload interface on the first 3 images so they aren't as sharp as the originals. The last one of the bemused tit, is actual file size....heavily cropped just to join the close cropping trend. Very pleased with the D850 and 500mm. It's become clear to me that if the light is excellent, and the ISO is obviously much lower, the D500 and D850 are very similar IQ. But as the light drops the need for higher ISO causes the D500 to lag behind in the noise stakes. So the noise level is not only more obvious but the ability to lift shadow detail or under exposed raw images, falls away. It's my considered opinion that despite the D500's much heralded superior performance for wildlife, it comes in a definite second to the D850 on results and processing capability, when the light drops...as it tends to do in UK winter woodlands! Of course the alternative is to only use the D500 when the sun is on the subject matter...then it doesn't matter.

More good pixs Eric. Agree with all you say about D850 and 500mm PF lens and your results say it all.

I'm after Kingfishers again this week before they go up river to breed. This was from this time last year on a very dull day Nikon D850 with 500mm f5.6 AV-S PF Lens & x1.4 = 700mm 1/320 sec f9 ISO 2500 I'm booked to go in the hide this Wed so hope weather improves by then.

It's going to be hard to better that photo, Graham

I've showing this as this is taken seconds before he caught the fish and exact same camera position and settings. I think this shows what Eric and I have been talking about the D850 with this lens is very good with retaining quality when you need to blow up a small bird like this simply because there is no easy way you will ever get much closer 90% of the time.

I agree with Eric. That is another exceptional photo. Hope the weather clears for you and you have good light and cooperative subjects.

In between repairing the neighbours carport, propping up my fence and fighting Ciara....I took some time to grab some more images. Poor lighting but in the middle of a storm beggars can't be choosers....
