There's a small place in Mandaue City with many terns and swifts / swiftlets flying around most of the time. Pigeons and Doves also frequent the place, and even Javan Pond Herons, Egrets and Bitterns, among others can be seen there. They are however quite difficult to get close to because of a pond at the location.
Here are some shots I got from there recently:
Composite shot

All were shot with the 7DMk2 and EF-400mm lens combo. Handheld in available light.
I'll try to get better shots of the flyers soon!
