Battle at first light in March, this was 6.43am dawn was about 6.15, the bright light burst through a gap in the clouds....and very quickly disappeared again!

Jon pleased you got a break in the cloud, it's good to have a bit of luck sometimes.Very nicely caught with the bird almost airborne and with the iso at that setting very well done,is that still a bit of frost on the ground?

Very cool Kung fu like action, good job capturing it in the short time you had with enough light. very neat colors!

Nice action here, these are some neat looking birds love the red on the head.
