Small Birds in Flight - Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island

Small Birds in Flight - Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island Cape Town
Small birds in flight in the Table Bay Nature Reserve close to Woodbridge Island / Milnerton Cape Town. A morning that started with lots of blue sky and perfect conditions for birds in flight changed very quickly to an overcast and rather cool morning. Some of the birds was at quite a distance and to compensate for the low light (for autofocus) I used Single Point AF for better in-flight results.

All images by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens - handheld in overcast / poor lighting conditions.
