It seems that you nailed the focus using the 300 (not a particularly fast to focus lens) and I would like to try out the settings if you remember what they were.
Hi, also on the flickr page, you could click on "show Exif" link for more detailed info... (should be in English in your interface)

I was spot metering and continuous focusing. I saw this bird coming in my direction, so I has plenty of time to start focusing (pressing the shutter half-way) and followed it until it came at the right angle, used HI burst mode, and ended with 18 shots, and 8 are very good... these are the best ones based on the bird position of wings, etc...
