I'm really not sure :wtf:
You're shooting with a shallow depth of field (F/2.2) with a shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second. I don't understand how you would get an exposure like that.
Was it exceptionally cold at the time? Super-cold weather may have interfered with the workings of the camera...? |

| Ok, upon closer inspection, it looks like the closer/blurred pigeon has just landed, while you captured the flying one fine (as that was closer to your point of focus). The DOF effect is making it blurred, but if you look closely (in P.S.) it's definitely between you and the flying pigeon. |

yeah, I'm not sure what DOF effect is, but now I can see the "mega pigeons" blurry wing over the top of the other one's tail!! :eek:
thanks |

DOF = Depth of field = F/stop |
|

| Well the DOF is definatelz is small due to small aperture setting |

Yeah, aperture f/2.2 is a very, very shallow depth of field.
For birds (even small ones) I don't really like shooting under f/4.0 or often half the bird ends up being blurred out.
f/5.6 -> f/7.1 is preferred, if the light is good enough. That's a big 'if' though :p |

Id imagine small aperture is nightmare with something moving so fast as birds.
