Well this turned out to be a nice birthday present! We have recently had rather cool and blustery weather then we had a spell of three warm days. This hawker came flying round the pond, I thought it was going to be impossible he just would not slow down, but I persevered, I got a few "nearly" shots and then I noticed a somewhat irregular flight pattern. I followed as much as possible, manually focusing then I took the image in AF when I sensed he was going to be flying more slowly. I tried single point with expansion but as usual I ended up with just one point being most successful - I think this gives less opportunity for the camera to hunt, and when you are on the subject it is quicker.
All C&C welcome.
