Thanks Peter
Wow! You go with center point focusing...I can't even reliably keep the bird on the focus point with center point expansion. woe is me.

You use aperture priority mode? How do you keep your shutter speed up? In Av doesn't the ss vary?
I use Tv shutter priority and set the ss to 1/1000 or 1/1250.
I've never tried EC...I'll definitely give it a try next time I go.

My Custom settings Paul
C1. 1/1250, f8.0, ISO auto, M mode, Center point focus, Evaluative metering, Ai servo
and High burst rate.
C2. f/5.6, ISO 400, Av mode, Center point focus, spot metering, +1/3 EC, AI servo
and high burst rate.
C3. 1/1000, ISO auto, Tv mode, Center point focus, spot metering, +2/3 EC, AI servo and High burst mode.
I shoot RAW, AWB and S (standard picture style) for my customs setting before I always use C2 for both BIF and perch birds. But lately I've been trying C1. For bright background I use C2 and C3.
