I agree that this is fantastic! Can you tell me what camera you used, and what your settings were? (Shutter/ISO/Aperture etc.) I just got a K-5 and I'm having trouble trying to get pix like this! mine are coming out looking very noisy and flat, even though I am typically shooting at ISO 200 or so.

I use up to ISO 1600 (depending on light) to stop the movement. Use F8 to F11 so complete bird is in focus, on white birds I use -1 to -1.3 exposure compensation to avoid blowing iut the highlights in the bird.
