Absolutely outstanding,
but I am still not going to dump my Canon gear and buy Nikon. I will suffer with my now sub-par 7DII. Besides in a few months someone, Canon, Sony etc will top this and we will all suffer Gear Envy Syndrome and that will lead to many cases of GAS.
You would think these guys were out to get our money or something!

For me, Its the matter of having it when you need it. Pushing 66, I don't know how much longer I will have the reflexes and the eyes to take on this sort of a challenge, I just don't have the patience to wait for the next one!!!

You are still a spring chicken, I will be 71 in October.
I keep wanting to get your owl a comb or brush, it needs a bit of grooming.

Right Ol' Man! Thank you for making me feel better!!!
My owl is doing good, thanks! He may look a bit unkempt to an earlier generation, being that we are from the '60s, not the 50's!!!
Please bear with him!!

River Terns, like those I posted yesterday are relatively slow moving birds compared to the Little Green Bee Eater. A few action images. Speaks volumes about the fast focus acquisition capability of the D500.
amazing action shots indrajeet!

The D500 may be a great camera, but there is some serious skill behind the viewfinder. Just to keep the focus points in a long lens on a fast moving bird like this requires a lot of practice and skill.
As usual, great photos of interesting and beautiful birds.
