It's a lesson I learned very quickly, if they are in bad light, don't bother with them.

Occasionally I take a bird in bad light, just as a record for the recorder.

You remind me of those ever-hungry vultures drifting aimlessly on the warm air currents over the Serengeti planes.....waiting for an opportunity to strike!!
