Now that you are having more understanding about the camera it could be worthwhile to reread the manual. I did this several times as my ability progressed.

nikon D7200 - sigma 150-600 @ 600 F8 1/250th iso 1250 exp 0.3, sorry about delay in replying.

That's a surprisingly good result at 250. You should be at minimum 800 shutter speed, 1000 is better. If you can lean on a fence post, or a tree it helps. A monopod is another possibility.

It can be a steep learning! But persevere, it will get easier. I watched some of them several times before fully appreciating what I needed to do.

Still trying the manual mode & auto ISO, getting to grips and speeding up with adjusting the front & rear mode wheels to set the speed and F stop! Still finding F8 is best ;-)
Still drawn towards the darker background!

Here's another aspect to study. His book/video on the Nikon aoutofucus system is worth purchasing.

For me the darker background is better, it detracts less from the bird than the lighter background.
Keep up the learning!!
