Male Northern Harrier "Grey Ghost"

At-last some good light today but the 20+ miles/hr wind was not really helping in freezing temperatures :) Fifteen mins into the day & I catch this guy in the classic marshy background. Not a bad bird to start a day :) Nice day as well with couple of rough-legged hawks to boost. Shot with Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 500mm F4 IS with 1.4x handheld. This is the first shot of the sequence and proven to be best of them all as wind was taking the bird away. Says a lot about the camera and lens combination.
