I would also adjust ISO and focal ratio with the aim of getting the shutter speed in excess of 1/2000th sec. For fast action I prefer 1/3200 sec. plus. to aid in freezing the wings.
The birds were not making things easy by keeping their backs to you. Please give more gear and settings info and maybe I can add some more thoughts.

Being that this is the first DSLR I have ever used and I had only read the manual once and this is the second day I had being using the camera details provided in the attachment most of what you have said above went straight over my head I have a vague awareness of what you are talking about the main thing I don't understand is Metering and shot in AV and Spot Metering. My experience before this camera which I borrowed for this months theme of things that fly was a very simple digital camera with hardly any settings available. That being said I am very happy with the results and can't wait till I own a DSLR for my own so I have the time to learn it inside out. Thanks for your response I had hoped you would comment as your photo's are great so I am sure I can learn a lot from you
