5DM2 catches a Cinnamon Bittern in flight

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites


Buoyed by the better-than-expected AF performance of the 5D2, I did a quick visit to Candaba wetlands to try and grab some more BIFs.
I'm very happy to get the most detailed in-flight photo of the Cinnamon Bittern I've captured so far. :)
