Tom Turkey on a cloudy day about mid morning

He posed well until I got the camera. Shot at about 87' with a 18- 300mm at 300mm f/8 mounted on a D500 at iso 4000. Lightroom says there is no detail in the dark feathers. The focus was on the birds shoulder. f/8 should have been as sharp as this lens can do. This was one of those days I wish I had a 200-500 or a longer prime. I am not sure I could have gotten sharp feathers with any lens in the low light due to the cloudy day. Comments welcome.
Maybe he will be back today.

Nice shot of a beautiful, ugly bird!
I think you are on the right track thinking about the Nikon 200~500 zoom. A great lens at a reasonable price. I have two of them mounted on a D850 and a D500 and have never thought that I was outgunned by the guys with the primes! Or the after market zooms.

His lady has been visiting for many days and he finally caught up with her; but I am not sure she was impressed
