Thank you! It was a bit tricky to get a sharp photo with that lens of mine. I had to stop down to f11 and f13 to get anywhere decent sharpness without colour fringing aberrations due to the bright sky. But I think it went quite well, after few edits. :)

It's tricky to shoot stopped down like that and still keep the shutter speed high enough for flying birds.
Yes, definitely. Btw. I was wrong, I just checked the settings out, and turns out that for the kestrel, I had stopped it even further to F14. The shutter speed was at 1/640s and the ISO was 200+1600. I usually use Dual-ISO for wider dynamic range.
Dual-ISO sounds like a cool feature. My camera doesn't have that.
On Canon cameras, you can find hidden functions by using Magic Lantern, it's a software that runs from the SDcard that adds a lot of functionality that isn't part of the original camera firmware.
I recently noticed Sony for one has a lot of similar stuff built in their cameras though.
