I took out my BIF gear this weekend to shake the rust off the equipment and my
reflexes.
The mynas at an open field in the surfing town of San Juan (La Union)
provided a good target practice for this currently-not-so-active birdshooter. The black plumage is not particularly known to
excite the AF sensors of DSLRs, thus it presented a formidable challenge to both this imager and his tools. After numerous attempts at the flying bird, I was lucky to get some frames in focus.
This bird species was native to China and southeast Asia, and introduced to the Philippines in the 1850s where it thrived well. Now common in Luzon and Negros islands, it is a medium large bird, with a total length of about 10 inches.
