Looks like you did just fine! cute little guy.... If I were out
shooting I'd try your auto-select trick - or maybe inside in low light
when Ashley does something cute. the autor focus on the K-5 is pretty awful

A grey warbler came to visit our garden this evening. They're a very small
bird, smaller than a sparrow. And they don't really stop moving. You usually
hear them instead of seeing them (they have a wonderful song).
These aren't amazing but they're the best I managed to get from 22 photos.
Both are very heavy crops, shot at 3200ISO so there's also a bit of noise.

Pentax K5ii, FA*400mm f/5.6, both 1/500 at f/9.5 handheld.
This AF with this camera/lens combination is terrible for little birds. The
only way I can get it to lock on anything but the most obvious targets is to
let it auto-select its AF point. In that case it'll focus on any old thing and
it's a lottery as to whether your subject is actually in focus. But at least
it mostly stops hunting.
Cheers,
Dave
