Strong winds!

Day 210 - By some peoples standards this is a poor image, but I'm very excited as this is the closest I've managed to get to one of these birds. The strong winds today have played havoc with them and they weren't able to soar on the high thermals but had to keep landing to take a breather - hence me being able to snap this one from the road!

I love the grass blowing and that wonderful bird flying into the wind.

I’d be happy too! I have one that taunts me on a daily basis, so I understand how hard they are to capture

I'd be tickled pink with this capture! A great shot under these circumstances.

Oh that's wonderful and the movement in the grass just conveys the conditions. Fav

@louannwarren It certainly was blowing a gale across the flat land 😊
@yorkshirekiwi Every time we go to this place its a windey road to the car park and these birds are always high up or on the wrong side of the track 😊
@ludwigsdiana I feel blessed to have captured this on the day 😊
@chrisiow It was so windy and raining that we didn't venture out of the car 😊
Thank you all for your lovely comments 😊
