Why isn’t AF picking up these birds?

Almost decent I hope

You are getting a hang of it, keep going. One thing I noticed in your last 2 posts is a good in-flight capture but framed with the bird flying outwards. Obviously, that misses the interesting parts of the bird. You may have to practice a bit on anticipating the bird movements a bit, otherwise you will only react when the best frame is already over. It's not easy, and I'm not expert at it either, but I believe one gets better at it by knowing this and incorporating it consciously in your shooting style

Happy practicing
