Hi Amoli. Very nice photos and a lovely subject.
If I may make a suggestion - try push your shutter speed down to or is it up to 1/4000 at f8 and ISO 500. At 1/4000 the wings will freeze in even more detail. I am no professional but I find this works for me.
Looking forward to seeing more of your shots.

Re: Birds In Flight
For the past few weeks I have been going out between 08:00 and 10:00 and setting up the camera and focused on my feeding tray. These are some of the in flight shots I managed to get.
Red-winged starling.
Cape-glossy starling.
Crested barbet.
Cape-glossy starling watching a dark-capped bulbul doing a high speed fly past.
A cape=glossy starling disturbs a masked weaver and a "mossie".
Grey-go-away bird - I must admit that this name does not appeal to me. Much prefer Grey loerie (turaco).
Burchells coucal.
More to follow.
