I was certainly trying to do this. I was walking towards it to get closer and manually focussing, snapping furiously before it flew away. I guess I was a bit out with the eyes, but I managed to fluke the wings so not all was lost. This was shot in Aperture Priority mode and I think the aperture was wide open (meaning shallow depth of field I think?) Would setting the aperture to f8 or more help with getting the eyes and the wings in focus together?

thanks for the feedback all! I will see what I can do this weekend
