BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Thanks for the feedback!
The pictures have been cropped only horizontally, so it was not possible to "fix" the bird in the frame.
Maybe I try it later with original 3:2 ratio.
Thank You!. A big

An egret IF.
High contrast (white bird-dark bg) made it very tricky for me to get the right exposure.
Last one is the sharpest, third one is my fav in wing pose
5D4, 100-400L II + TC, @560 mm, f/8, 1/800, ISO1000-2000

Auto exposure will over-expose against a dark background. The technique is to underexpose if using auto or better still use full manual so that the exposure doesn't change during panning. You can't do much about correcting overexposure if its bleached but modern sensors can cope with underexposure. This is an area where mirrorless really scores because you get the exposure through the evf. That doesn't help you with the 5DIV and I know you like to get the exposure right in camera and not post-process.

Thanks for that advice, Alan. I already had all that in mind. But good to know, that I didn't miss a thing.
I was prepared, as I was planning to underexpose by -1/3 to -2/3. I think - 1/3 was already set.
I use full manual for in flight shots since I am doing DIF.
Problem was, that I wasn't prepared for the egret to start and fly, so I didn't have the time to switch to full manual when it suddenly started.
And I had set spot metering to get the white bird as main set point. But spot metering wasn't good for panning in flight.
