Caught this fella/lass just as the sun broke through the trees in the very early morning. He/she flew from her nest to the rock cropping you see in the images....He/she looked around a bit, stretched his/her neck and then welcomed the dawn with either a call for a mate or a big yawn....the bird was shot at a distance of some 30 yards, so fairly heavy crops...enjoy...
