Thumbs down Photo setup

Hi all
I have recently moved from point and shoot to a 20D, I have access to a farm with a hide in a wooded part, a lot of farmland bird’s visit, see attachment. I have had some nice photos (not professional quality see second attachment). To have a fast shutter speed I intend to revisit with up to three 580 flashguns as it is all in shadow, because of the way the hide is setup I will need to use the transmitter to fire the flash. Please help with set up suggestions as when I have set it up at home the camera assumes I require fill in flash and keeps the shutter open for a long time after the bird will have moved. I don’t know whether to try the manual or sports setting on the camera.
