Black Bellied Plovers Flight

[06Honda]

Attempted to practise some flying birds today, went pretty well. Shorebirds flying probably aren't the easiest ones to start with but thats all that was around at the beach today.

Settings:

f/5.6
1/250
ISO: 160
400mm
Metering Mode - Multi-segment

You have done well especially if your S/S was 1/250th @400mm

Well done you nearly have a wing dip.

Lot of gold color on that bird.

The ID is a guess, not sure if any or all could be American Golden Plovers.

Once again I've got to say "Ditto" to Scott's comments... captured at 250th sec - very good !!!
Handheld ? or on a tripod/gimbal ? Keep shooting (and posting)
cheers

It looks like the axillaries are black on the ones with the wings up ,so I think you can be confident on those at least, that theyre black bellied.
If youve got another shot with the wings up on the other, ....

Handheld, standing on a beach.
