Default Shooting flying birds -- how to set the focus? (Canon 40D)....

I was shooting Cliff Swallows on the weekend, trying to get them in
the air. Shooting 1600 ISO, Tv at 1/2000, sunlight (aperture was
around f8-11), 300mm lens.


Try to lower the aperture to f/5.6-8 and ISO 800.

Most of the time I was set at AI Servo AF
and automatic focus point selection,


Try Center AF.
