I bought Ai Clear a month ago, and love it!
So I did a little combined image with your two photos and my with Ai Clear made from your image published here.
If all is equal in my comparing I might have to get the Gigapixel! :-)

I have one, delivered two days ago (Sweden).
I also have a Panasonic G9 with a 100-400 and a Olympus 300/4, and a D500 with Nikons 200-500 to compare with.
There is not much crop room in the small sensor in P1000, but never the less (my impression is) the reach is better than the other two cameras I have.
Lightroom is not supporting P1000 yet, so I can not make any exact comparing, and frankly, not sure I ever will... :-)
Some notes about things I was not aware of;
VR is "flimsy" in the EVF, but seems to work great on the images. 3000mm is definitely doable.
No continuous AF.
Camera freezes during the saving to SD card.
MENU don't return to where you was last time.
As for now, I like it!

Faststone Image Viewer can view raw from the new P1000. At least on PC, and if my memory serves me right, it is available to Mac.
Faststone is a great fast viewer that should be on everybody's computer! :-)

Thanks!
(I checked from inside the program, but no update was shown there...)
Downloaded now! :-)
Lets hope Adobe gets ready soon to support P1000.

I have used the Eagle mount Jim linked to, for about a year now with two different cars and it works excellent!
I use it with a Nikon D500 and Sigma 150-600 Sport (looks like the image below) and it is no problem with the stability.

Highly recommended!

... You will be better off to use a 400mm prime F4 or 300mm Prime F4 with an extender. I am not familiar with Nikon or their lens, but I can assure you that using their lenses is far better that either Sigma or Tamron.
That is not true!
I have owned a Nikkor 300/2.8 VR II (newest model) and for a month or so I tried the Sigma 150-600 Sport and compared them side by side.
In all but exactly 300mm Sigma is the winner!!!
I had a 1.7 TC mounted most of the time, but sharpness is NOT up to what (my) Sigma gives me.
It was a very, very tough decision to make, but I sold the Nikkor as my Sigma is better (again, in all but 300mm)
PS Sigma 150-500 and 50-500 are not very good lenses and compared to those a prime with extender is probably better.

Use the in camera stabiliser and turn the lens stabiliser off, never use both stabilisers at the same time.
Actually, the newer Panny´s, camera and lens, are designed to work together with IS active on both.

I didn't say they gave it a spectacular review, ju... (show quote)
Ok, then I misunderstood you, I am truly sorry for that!
But as I also said earlier that all of the new tele zooms are good, very good. Much better than the "old" Sigma 50-500 and 150-500.
Is the Nikon 200-500mm a good lens? Absolutely!
Is it the best? I do not believe it is, but to be fair, OP did not ask for that. :-)

I don't have the lens myself, but I am hoping to be able to purchase it sometime in the not to distant future. Here is one of the reviews on the lens for you to look at. I always read the equipment reviews on this site.

Anyone can choose what to see in a review, but with this in the text I would not by the Nikon:
"I would say most of the time, autofocus is fairly good for tracking birds in flight." :-)

From Dpreview forum (not me writing):
"To me, the Sigma 150-600S seems to outperform the Nikon 200-500 in terms of AF speed and sharpness but it costs $600 more than the Nikon and it's heavier than the Nikon but the Sigma has 100 mm more reach than the Nikon. A tough decision."
I know that Sigma 150-600S is very sharp (if you do your homework with calibrating!), and heavy. But I also think that you will be very happy with any one of the newer telezooms.

I have two old ones. Both bought used on eBay and one of them at least 20 years old, 10 when i bought it.
One I use when golfing and the other when I'm out with my camera.
Highly recommended!
On hot days I use to dip the hat in water for a minute or so, gives a great cooling effect!
Edit: Oops, missed that mcveed already said that... :-)

Thanks for your reply's everyone!!! I think I may have to give it a try !!
Absolutely! You should give it a try!
But I know of two persons that have stopped using it, at least on moving targets. Myself and Arthur Morris... Art (according to his blog) don't use it on bif, and I never use it.
I use a Nikon D500, and have the AF-ON button configured to change Af-Mode. When I press and hold the button camera switches to Group Mode (at the present setting).
For me this is a much, much better use than BBF.

Distance is no problem!

Atmosphere is almost always a problem with distant targets, but that is no better with a white lens...
Sigma 150-600 Sport is a sharp lens. I sold my Nikon 300/2.8 II after trying this one!
But, get the USB Dock at the same time. It is worth it.
