African Sacred Ibis in Flight - Intaka Island (ISO 2500 - 3200)

I don't often go to Intaka Island for Birds in Flight photography, but spent some time quality time there early this morning with my friend, Joseph Inns. 

Unlike Woodbridge Island, the best hide-area at Intaka Island is shooting mostly directly into the sun.

Early morning Birds in Flight Photography at Woodbridge Island is always with the sun behind the photographer (offering direct, but soft light on the birds).

These images (from an Intaka Island hide) are captured at Auto-ISO with the dark-green foliage adding for an additional challenge to the low / variable light conditions.

I rarely shoot higher than ISO 1600 with the Canon EOS 7D Mark II / EF 400mm F/5.6L USM lens, but in many ways (ito the conditions) I'm more than satisfied with these images and outing to Intaka Island.
