Red Turtle-dove in Flight (Streptopelia chinensis)

I thought I'd seen this bird in the Mandaue Pond before, but could not ID it properly 'coz it was always zipping by. Well, I decided to go back this afternoon and waited for the bird. I got lucky

The 7D MII is undeniably an AF speed demon....coupled with the ultra fast 400 5.6L and quick reflexes, virtually no BIF can escape the combo. Love the sharpness and eye contact, Bobby!

I agree 100 Percent on that statement, Ka Mastah. The 7d2 and 400 combo is perhaps the best BIF gear one can employ to have a really good chance at freezing those fast fliers. :-)
