It would be desirable to have the speed setting, especially in a flight shot

There birds are not easy to get in flight and you appear to have done an admirable job to achieve this.....like a little bomb

Shutter speed 1/3200s
This one was actually not hard to get, because it was gliding (notice the wing shape).
I still can't get a shot of two swallows fighting midair...

Nice shot. I can never get these guys in flight. Too fast and difficult to track for me. What focus point did you use (center? all of them?)
