I'm new to birds in flight, but there are some of my attempts.... Taken at a bird of prey display I watched a week or so ago:-

@nikonpup, I caught something like yours once. Not nearly as detailed as your series, though

the birds just don't get it, our lens are just so long and shutters speeds are limited and they do not take well to directions. looks like the same bird, yours did not get dinner either.
just consider ourselves lucky to get what we get when we get it.
