This migratory water bird, quite small at about 6-1/2 inches total length, is a very fast flier. This is one of the very few times that I was able to catch it in flight. It was speeding over the fish ponds of Binmaley (Pangasinan) on March 1st.
The yellow eye-ring and other features in the head area, plus over-wing details, are easily visible, making the ID of this bird an easy job (I think  ).
Little Ringed-Plover (Charadrius dubius)
Shooting info - Binmaley, Pangasinan, March 1, 2015, Canon 1D Mark IV + EF 500 f4 IS, 500 mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, 1/2000 sec, manual exposure in available light, 475B/516 support, major crop.

No different from catching the colasisi in flight! Feat in itself just to catch this one in flight. Congratulations, Romy!  |
