Very nice shots Eric well done. No birds in our garden but Wendy starting feeding again this weekend.

Great shots Eric. 
Are you using D500 or D850 with 500mm f4?

D850 exclusively these days.

I understand your point that the D500 is better for BIF with its extended width focus points. But I've found that if I need to use the frame edge focusing points the bird is too small in the frame anyway.

I like those Green Woodpecker shots Eric, they are few and far between up here.

Thx Iain. They have made spasmodic visits to our garden over the years. Never been able to photograph them. This year there seems to have been young ones that fledged here and they (I am assuming it's them) have visited 2 or 3 times this Summer. With the caravan in the back garden I was able to get a closer concealed position. This time I was in the house. I stalked it a bit but made one wrong move ...and it was gone. 😞

The creeking bones and moaning tends to alert the birds when I am ....getting out of the car.

I always wondered why the local jackdaws left when I got out the car!
It must be my rattling bones.
:lol:

I can get out the car and get down on the ground, it's the getting back up that's the problem.🤣
