Thank you. I used slightly different settings, but I will try some of your ideas next time.

I had release priority set to Focus. It seemed to work OK most of the time.

I had IS mode set to continuous. The battery lasts for ages and I didn't want to miss anything.

My biggest mistake was having Image display set to 1.5 seconds. Every time I took my finger off the shutter, I got the last image - and lost the bird.

I think most folks turn the image review off completely. It wastes battery power and just gets in the way, IMO. I have my front custom button assigned for playback if I ever need to take a quick peek at previous shots while looking through the EVF.

Not sure what my tracking sensitivity is set to. I've got to find that in the menu
