Panning/tracking, high iso to accomodate a narrow aperture and high shutter speed. Good reflexes.

All that excluding tracking. You're just saying "They pointed and fired", leaving out any details about exposure which are no doubt important for being able to capture this picture. There is close to no motion blur and there is a wide depth of field. Both have to be taken into consideration to get a picture like this. If you still don't find those things important, then enjoy your Green Box mode.

Bullshit.
This is just a camera on a tripod with an extremely fast shutter speed firing in a burst.
Dude probably sat in a bird blind for 10 hours to get this shot.

Much wildlife photography uses lasers to snap the photo when the animal comes into view.

getting exposure correct isnt trickery its a basic of photography.
whoever took this picture better have had the exposure right, he/she no doubt went to this spot and sat for hours to get this shot.
i wasnt trying to say he just randomly took the picture im just saying there was no special technique involved. he set the various settings and took the picture, no tracking, he/she at most followed the bird shooting continuous.

I suppose you just don't know what panning and tracking means, huh.

Actually, it's not a recent photo at all, here's the quote underneath the picture in one of my books(The Complete Encyclopedia of Photography by Mark Edwards, published in 1991)

Stephen Dalton is a naturalist who became fascinated by the challenge of photographing insects and birds in flight. To do this, he had to design special flash equipment that would produce an extremely short burst of very bright light. This was necessary in order to produce a sharp image of his rapidly moving subjects. With help from his friend Ron Perkins, an electronics expert, they built flash equipment and an electronic trigger that would fire the flash within one-millionth of a second of a light beam being broken by an insect or bird movement.

His photographs have been published in a number of books and, apart from being beautiful to look at, they have considerable scientific value.

This picture took several weeks to take due to the problem of persuading the swallows to strike the water where the camera was focused. Over this period of time, Dalton masked most of the pond with netting, thus confining the splash down to a small area. He then set up a motorized camera, an automatic triggering device and high-speed flash heads. After another week or two of test exposures, he was able to make a series of pictures showing swallows drinking and bathing.

The picture above the caption is of a different swallow (neither African or European, and without a coconut in tow), but the background is an exact match when flipped right to left.
