Interesting bird but 50M is a long way even with 700mm it would be small.The Starlings are about 15M away in above pixs.

Mike and I stalked it for a good hour and this shot was the best I could get. In fact Mike tells me it's the best shot he's seen posted of this specific bird that's drifted into our area. It highlights hts the differences between bird watching and bird photography. For the former group, a photo like this is sufficient as a 'record shot'. Mike tends to fall into that category but does aspire to get bigger, closer ....record shots. We on the other hand are photographers extending our subject interest into birds. For us it's more about filling the frame with nice sharp images.

Titchfield Han again today and the Lapwings were flying again. D850 with the new 500mm lens again. Also met a new friend with the new 500mm lens same as me he is very pleased with it and using it on a D750. I have asked him to make contact with us and join our forum.

I was very pleased with this mixed flock at well over 100M away. Focus on 25 poins AF-C Nikon D850 with new 500mm lens + x1.4 1/2000 sec f10 ISO1600. This is most of the full frame.Several pix were taken and tracking focus held well. The full sized image has very good fine detail. Attachment: Mixed Flock2195.jpg (Downloaded 14 times)

I prefer the first Lapwings picture to the second but both are good.
