They are very difficult to photograph, always moving about every second. I now use high ISO, 400 or 800 (the grainy effect of the new sensors is not so bad), high speed. c 1/1000 sec and save as a raw file, jpegs come out rubbish. I then process the raw file in Adobe Lightroom. That way the pictures come out reasonably sharp even when it flies as you press the shutter.
