Well I don't frequent this part of the forum as much as I should, it looks like, cause I totally missed this thread. WOW, Andy, you have quite the camera to be able to take shots that good . Of course we all know it's not the camera but the photographer and you are one of the best, and I mean it.

Trust me its the camera

*adds to the ego boost*
well you deserve it for taking shots like that - wonderful shots -- I really can't see any faults - and I really looked hard.
Great work!

Well, you've got no choice but yield to the majority here ! ​

Nope, I'll never think of myself as a good photographer. If I did I'd give up

Yeah, a camera with 3D tracking is pretty much a requirement. You can sometimes get lucky without it but...

If you have tracking on your camera give it a try - 1st with simple stuff like people walking, their feet, your dog or cat, household inanimate items as you pan, and stuff. Then use the practice to grab and track the birdies you want.

If it's small yard birds you'll probably need a very expensive camera with very high-speed 3D tracking but if it's a larger bird of prey I think most trackers will do a decent job.
