For example birds flying against a varied background - AF sometimes gets confused when the backgorund changes. To get around this one must pre-set limits for the AF system, where the background is beyond the far limit and the bird is not. Even where AF works reasonably well, many experienced bird photographers will use AF for rough focus and will fine-tune the focus manually.
