Even 1/3200 sec was not quite fast enough. Lens is my 500mm AFS F4

We also had to push to 3200 ISO as light was low and bird very fast and quite small!

This was taken at same time as Malcolm's image but our 10 frames a sec going at same time captured a 2nd view!

Light was quite low and both of us were shooting at 3200 ISO most of time. 1/3200 sec shutter speed was hardly enough for these small very fast birds. D500 is best ever camera I have used for rapid action and first class auto focus. Shot wit Matrix meter on 9 points focus and fast motor drive light most of time was often working with lens xt F4 wide open very few times did it get up to F8.

I love the first one Graham I think the movement makes the shot for me.

Another of the Kingfisher pixs with D500 and 500mm AF-S f4 lens. 1/3200 sec and ISO 3200. Little bit of noise but sorted very quickly in Photoshop CC.
