I took out my BIF gear this weekend to shake the rust off my equipment and my reflexes. The mynas at an open field in the surfing town of San Juan (La Union) provided a challenging target, as the black plumage is not particularly known to excite the AF sensors of DSLRs. Crested Myna ( Acridotheres cristatellus) Shooting info - San Juan, La Union, April 28, 2013, 1D MIV + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC II, 700 mm, f/6.3, ISO 800, 1/1600 sec, 475B/516 support, manual exposure in available light. Regards to all, Romy

Canon does not rust and your reflexes is still there. Very nice capture of this BIF with a grasshopper or mantis on its beak. Well done Romy & Mabuhay.

So nice to see a Myna in flight. Been trying to take flight shots of the mynas in our village but they are so far away from where I am usually at. Fantastic shot as usual Romy :-)
