I visited the Slimbridge WWT this week with a good friend and fellow photographer so that I could see how the D500 performed with the 300mm PF ( and 1.4 convertor for some shots).
I am very pleased as despite the weather being a typical English summers day - cloudy and overcast with dark clouds, blue sky with some sunshine and then torrential rain, the setup performed perfectly and focus was super fast.
I was shooting in manual using between 1/2000 and 1/3200 at f5.6 for most of the images and using auto ISO (EXIF data visible bottom right of image in frame).
The full set can be seen here - 571 Photography
These are a few of the images from the days shooting (apologies for being image heavy).
