BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

I got these two in a city park with the 7DII and 135L this week. I haven't seriously tried BIF before.

I'm uploading from my iPad, but I believe it's at f2.8. It's possible I could have had a faster shutter speed. Focus wasn't perfect, but I like the pictures. :)

A (very cross) Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus mobbing me when I must have been somewhere near it's nest. Shot on M3 and 135mm, it's the full fame so the bird was about 10 m away as I shot before whooshing over my head.

I'd like to say AF Servo and focus tracking, but no chance ! Shot using the manual focus peaking feature, about the only good thing in an EVF.

1/4000, f/4.5, ISO 320
