I'm not sure what is going on in these images. Are they throwing some piece of grass around? The images are too small to make any suggestions and please post the techs.

Yes it is a grass and sometimes a crane play as a a footbool player...off course it is a ritual comportament!

I think could be right put all shoots in the same photos but I would like more contrast and definition.
I think I could use a filter plugin Cs4 to make the sky better...

Any good photograph needs one, and only one center of interest, and other elements act as supporting players, so to speak. Your mission should be to isolate one bird, hopefully the one making the most interesting actions, and make him the focal point. This is not easy to accomplish, and with a bunch of birds, it may not be possible. First of all, you may need a telephoto lens with a pretty high focal legnth. After that, all you can do is change your viewing position(sometimes even this will cause all the birds to fly away), wait for an appropriate moment that other birds in the way finally move, and use depth of field to blur out distractions. A daunting task indeed! regards~Bill
