Birds in flight with my new camera

I acquired a new toy for photography this week. Still learning and familiarize with control knobs and its characteristic. I like its fast shutter speed (compare to my previous EOS 400D). The focus lock is also good, especially in good contrast subject like this birds in flight against the clear sky. I was not able to get the shot of fast swallows with my old camera. Most of my in flight shot were birds that just jumped from perch.
