A few birds in flight captured during an advanced Autofocus / Birds in Flight private training practical session - as part of my one-on-one / private Birds in Flight Photography / Canon Advanced Autofocus Private Training.
Hike into the Table Bay Nature Reserve / Woodbridge Island
A crisp low wind morning provided for an extended training session next to the Diep River and then a short hike into the the Table Bay Nature Reserve. I captured a few birds - mainly spoonbills, grey herons and a sacred ibis.
