[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 723739, member: 9240"] For someone who has a D750 and a D500, for sure 500mm is never going to be "enough" for a lot of wildlife photography, and birds in particular. Along with that the focus system on the D750, while good, is not nearly as good as on other cameras. Advice already stated is good. I shoot a ton of birds and find that 1/1600s is about as slow as I can shoot and get more sharp than not. Additionally I always use AF-C Dynamic Area AF (usually 153pt for birds in flight with the D500 - you should use 51). This gives you a single point which you can use to focus lock after which the object focused on can move through the frame and remain in focus. Single point AF is useless for a moving subject and almost certainly contributed to your issue. [/QUOTE]
