Bird in flight II

Another bird in flight shot. I am beginning to enjoy the stealthiness, agility, movements, timing and excitement of catching birds in flight.

I am at present wondering why sometimes even if my manual shutter speed setting is 1/1000 after a shot is taken it is registered at a lower shutter speed. Anyone? Ron (Blackcountry Man)? Your moving images are so much sharper even at lower shutter speeds and ISO. Is there something I am forgetting to set?
