As for the shutter speed question, it seems that large and relatively slower gliding birds do not require as fast a shutter speed as smaller and usually faster birds. Also, you might get away with slower shutter speeds when a moving subject is further away because at lower magnification the subject moves across fewer pixels on the sensor than it would if it were closer moving at the same speed – if shutter speed is held constant.
