Very nice shots! It really helps if the Sun is at a good angle too (which I'm sure wasn't an accident). I see like me you like 1/2500 for this sort of target

I bought an EE-1 Red Dot Sight after having a fairly torrid time trying to photograph Swifts with my GH4 and it does help, as well as the wider FoV helping to avoid losing the bird it's better for eye-strain if you are aiming at a nest waiting for a bird to dive out, which can take ages. I find guessing the Parallax can be a pain with small targets at varying ranges though.
