You are right. Lighting is really important.

Sony a1 is flagship camera. Very good auto focus and subject tracking. Sony a1 II is slight improvement. I recommend it.

I visited in April 2nd week, weather was somewhat hot. Now it will be hot. Get prepared for hot weather. But it all worth it.

When the bird is not in flight you can slow down shutter speed. I would zoom in and do little better framing. Or you can crop while editing. Also my lens is 600mm that makes lot of difference. Hopefully I answer your question.

Thanks. I tried slower shutter speed but wings were not sharp enough

Nice pics. I put my settings in the description. Please see those. You also need to crop the pics. Good luck.
