All those pics are taken using the manual focus ring. It's only when you mentioned about the buttons that i knew. And while asking prat bhai about the same, he showed me the continuous servo and 3d tracking focus, whoch i knew but i prefer focusing the subjects manually..
Shall try using auto next time..

Read this - Bird photography tips: Digital Photography Review

Specifically this:

Point number 9. You should know your gear. Birds are very fast creatures, so it is not wise to waste precious moments on learning how to set up your equipment. Learn how to switch between focusing and exposure modes, manual and automatic settings. It is essential to be able to make all this changes while looking through viewfinder. These skills may save you some awesome shots! You should learn which focusing mode suits best to a given shooting conditions. Use continous AF mode for shooting birds in action. (Ai-Servon on Canon). For example if you shoot birds in flight over even background like clear sky, the best idea is to setup manual exposure mode and set AF to automatic point selection. Using wide AF area will give you more opportunities to capture a moment, and on the clear background AF system will not distract to objects in background. Shooting on a busy background is more challenging. If your subject is contrasty, like white egret over green foliage, the same setup as for clear sky will work. But if you have similar colored subject and background, setting AF area to be smaller than birds size in a frame may help. If you are shooting in difficult conditions, for example photographing small birds in a foliage, the best idea is to use spot metering linked to active single AF point. If your camera doesn't support this, use center point with spot metering and crop later for better composition.
