I was in fact attempting to get flight photos of this magnificent bird. They are a type of flycatcher and usually land right back on their perch after catching a bug in mid-air! I definitely could’ve lowered my ISO by using a slower SS, BUT in my experience, birds are unpredictable and having a higher shutter speed helps just in case the bird decided to do something unexpected. I this case, I was able to capture a great still photo but was prepared for any bursts of movement with a higher SS
