lovely set, I always get distracted also when I see them...but to take a shot of those flying things while airborne is another story... are you willing to share the method for it ?

Not much too it same as I do birds.
Good following skills and smacking that trigger to fire a burst ASAP when you lock. if your focus points drop off back to practise.
Sometimes I do it with C-AF sometimes with C-AF + Tr
And don't forget to pre-focus otherwise you will never see anything but blur and have lens hunt.
And another tip is study the flight patterns, paths behaviour etc
