high speed birds in flight
Why do you think flash is necessary for birds in flight?
A fast shutter speed is needed so use Tv mode and adjust the other two exposure variables (aperture and ISO) to suit the scenario.
Also use a monopod as it does not restrict your panning movement .
Hope this helps you

Many thanks for all your comments.
I was only going to use flash because someone told me that was what he uses. And allthough i want to take the birds in flight in the day, as its gloomy ole england it is very dark. as my k5 still hasnt arrived yet Im using the K20d. and fixed sigma 400mm lens.
I have set some bird feeders up at work and see the ltt most days. so i would like an in focus in flight picture of at least one.
Any info is gratefully recieved.
many thanks again
