Shrike on a stick

I have a problem. Even if I use a continuous shutter to capture motion, when the noise of the shutter (even on muted, which isn't much mute) stops, birds must know that and off they fly! I lose my chance at getting a bird in flight.

 

I know all of you expert birders don't stop that shutter finger at key moments, but how do you pause to refocus? I miss key motion shots after trying for... I won't even disclose for how many years ;-)

 

Off for a walk after taking blurry photos of this shrike in flight.
