I’d love to have had the bird in flight sharp but wasn’t quick enough.

I’m waiting to get a good shot if this pretty punk but he won’t cooperate…

In a situation like this try manually pre-focusing on the spot where the birds are likely to land . You also need to be shooting at faster shutter speeds to freeze any subject movement as 1/400th of a second is nowhere near fast enough for these nippy little devils 😊
