This one looks like the best of the lot to me. Sharp with a good head angle and a nice pose. With a nice BKGR and not so much onctrast.

Yes, this is a lot better, well captured....Lovely flight pose, detail and BG. The last time I tried them was when I had the old 500, am sure that contributed to my shoulder injury...Never photographed them since....Not an easy bird to freeze in flight, and get detail, well done.
Thanks all,
Brian, it was probably the tail, these are taken at nesting boxes, there is generally more than one bird in the frame and I am close..
Getting focus is not hard, I took 600 shots yesterday morning in 30 minutes and almost all have sharp birds in the frame.
Just bad angles , wings, HA, they fly at crazy fast angles so getting one in a nice pose is the hardest part.
