Mountain bluebird

First one of the year :)
My photography goal ...get this shot ... in focus/more clarity
Any suggestions for capturing birds in flight?
(I exported this from Affinity photo ..and lost data) I shot in aperature priority but don’t know what shutterspeed ended up being ...

I think the blurring of the wings enhances the movement you’ve captured. For what my humble opinion is worth.

@imnorman thanks Ian ... I like the effect of the wings as well. I think I could get a lot more sharpness in the body of the bird somehow ... one day ! ;)

What a moment to capture! It's a very amazing shot!
