Here is another test shot with 1DX + 400 f/5.6.
The bird was doing fishing-cruise at about 40 km/hr, i.e., nothing very fast.
The camera AF was set to my standard mode: center AF + expansion.
Although the undulating flight pattern of the bird makes it a bit hard for the operator to keep the selected AF point \"glued\" to the bird\'s head, even with AF pt. expansion, this type of motion is a piece of cake for the 1DX/400 f5.6 combo. In fact, with plenty of DoF, even an auto AF point selection mode would work well here.
