Took this about an hour ago on the land just outside my house ( well about 50 metres from the front gate)
Our Jackal Buzzard has returned and this is the first time I have ever seen him on the ground. Awful light, but you have to try

Tough lighting as you said but nicely caught Ken, always good to get a raptor on the ground.

Quite a yard bird, Ken. Good shot in tough, harsh light.
