We have a good feeding station with 4 hangers with various seed, fat balls etc, and a nesting box that 2 blue tits are definitely using as they keep coming and going every couple of minutes. I have a Nikon D500 and a Nikon 200-500 F5.6.
Im ok with the general set up for capturing the birds coming and going, AF-C, HS Continuous, SS more than 1/1250 etc.
What I struggle with is getting the focus point nailed on. I have the 2 back buttons set for single point (AF-S) and the joystick set to 4 group (AF-C).
I focus on the bird house opening or feeding station, and then when the birds come, click away. However, im aware the birds are damn quick and they are slightly forward of my focus point. I hope this makes sense.
Any tips on getting that focus point spot on ?
Here are a few examples...
