Bird shots can be very hard to take. Mate of mine take some great shots. That's pretty much all he shoots.
Here's a couple of mine.
Osprey taken flying over Narrabeen Lagoon. Spent way too long standing on a sand bank in the freezing cold while he was building his nest.
Took awhile to figure out how to shoot these critters. They take off when the pre-flash goes off just before the main flash. End result is a blur of wings and two legs disappearing out the top of the shot. Trick is to use manual flash rather than TTL and lay in wait until they get used to you.
