Great result Gary.
I'm with you on aperture setting (F8ish), but I tend to use manual exposure on birds. I take a few readings of the palm of my hand at different points and that gets me very close if not exact.

Thanks.
Focus peaking involves looking at the LCD screen doesn't it? (at least, it does on my 7D) I can't imagine trying to do that for BIF shots with my 7D, the weight involved would be difficult to hold away from my body. The NEX being much smaller must be easier. Plus if I use focus peaking, pressing the shutter will turn the screen black so it'd be no use to me when following a flight path. I'm assuming that doesn't happen on a NEX because it's mirrorless.
And if I did try focus peaking, the delay between seeing the red indicators and pressing the shutter would be enormous in BIF terms. I need to see the bird at all times so I can adjust the focus as needed.

I have tried manual exposure but the light is rarely constant. The birds fly in and out of shaded areas, plus a clear blue sky in the Highlands is as rare a s rocking-horse poo.  I'm also constantly changing the angle to the sun, the birds fly in all and any directions so the light changes all the time as I follow them. I use partial metering mostly because it seems to give the best results as long as I keep the bird in the middle of the frame (which is not as it easy as it sounds).
I doubt I'll ever have a foolproof system for BIF, there are too many variables to take into account.

Thank you.
I'm very lucky to have a falconry display in the local castle for six months of the year, it's easy for me to get there and spend hours practicing. That's the key to this kind of shooting, practice, practice, practice (oh and tons of luck). It does seem impossible at first but if you can turn your torso through 90 degrees while standing firmly still, it's not that hard really.
I bought a gimbal head recently to help me with this but, for now, I'm still able to physically hold a big lens and swing it around for half an hour. That will change in time and the gimbal will come more into play, then I'll have to learn a new approach to shooting BIF.

It would not have been possible with the last camera I had with LCD, but I have detected no lag between the LCD image and what is captured by the shutter. And yes, the NEX is smaller, which I really don't like and that made it nearly impossible for me to hold it out (and farther because of my poor close vision) and get a decent picture due to shake. I had to create my own handle and also use a hood with diopter to view the LCD clearly and unimpeded by outside bright light. Additionally, the hood provided a much needed third point (my head) for bracing the camera from shake. The "red" (my selected color) from peaking appears when the target gets into the depth of field, but does not guarantee perfect focus, and that's why it's still a percentage shot, but with improved percentages.

I have to agree, it's not suited as a carry around lens. If I want to take it on a photowalk I have to take it in my camera backpack, it's too unwieldy to hang around your neck or hang at your hip. (I have done it, but it's no fun).
And thanks.

For reasons of size and weight, I have two 200mm lenses - Hexanon 3.5/200 and Topcor 5.6/200. The Hexanon is big and heavy, so on the NEX it's really a tripod lens, but the Topcor is small and light and I find it far easier to handhold. The Topcor isn't very common, but fairly cheap considering how great it is.

Canon 7D is my weapon of choice, the fast frame rate and 25 raw buffer is indispensable for shooting action. I rarely fire more than 4 or 5 in a burst but occasionally I do go a bit mad. 
The hard part it is pulling in the focus, firing like a machine-gunner, following the flight path, keeping the bird in frame and maintaining a smooth body swing. All to capture a furry exocet doing approx 90mph.
Piece of piss really.
