I pretty much had the AF sorted for birds with the D3 but the D4 is subtly different so I need some more practice, and better light.
Following Kites can be interesting because they tend to travel in circles that drift with the wind. Try panning as they go directly overhead and you run a serious risk of falling over!
Today isn't a day to experiment, it is raining and there aren't any kites about.
Here's one to tide you over.
Just returning to the discussion on locking focus. The above image was easy for the camera to hold focus as there were no distracting objects in the background for it to dither over. But when the bird dipped low over the fields there was a danger the autofocus (whatever mode used) would cause the focus point to change to a background item, unless the centre spot/group was left on the bird.
