Wood Sandpiper in Flight

[Bobby Kintanar]

This Wood Sandpiper was heading towards me at a rapid rate - this bird can really fly fast! The 7D2-EF-400mm Lens combo however, proved it was up to the task when I took just three bursts of it, and all came out acceptable:

All shots: Canon EOS 7D Mark II with EF400mm f/5.6L USM; ƒ/5.6; 1/2000; ISO 400; Hand-held in available light; No flash.
