These starlings are very fast and was fortunate to get a few shots of them
in flight.

ACtually there was hardly any reflex at all. The birds simply
hovered above their perch and I shot at 1/6000 to get the
pic. The bird with the leaf the same but I was a few milliseconds way
too slow!

Photos by themselves, can be deceiving huh?

Its not the shutter speed. You can shoot these with 1/200. They are not as fast as butterfly or bees wing flaps.

But its all about your "reflex" - How did you aim and focus? What eqpt were you using?

1/1600 is my preferred speed for that moment. You simply prefocus
and use high frame rate on a tripod with cable release and you will
definitely get your pic.

No super reflex is used. If you wish to use 1/200, you are most
welcomed, its up to the photographer to get the pic they want.
