I have yet to get a decent bird in flight with the Tamron, but I think it's mostly operator error.![]()
I can't either. My problem is I have trouble finding the damned birds on the move in the viewfinder![]()
If your not used to BIF with a long lens it may be better to start with 400m and move up,i dont have much of a problem finding them but in the typical UK light focus lock is a problem

Also, zooming out a bit helps to be able to get the subject in the frame, then zoom in. All of this can be tough to do consistently in the field, since those sneaky little birds like to take flight when we least expect it.
