On the way back from a wonderful visit to catch up with friends in Eastbourne I stopped for a break near Levin. The Tararua Range lay behind rain cloud (as is often the case), but something about the layers of landscape prompted me to fish the camera out. After a few so-so photographs I changed lenses and tried again, and as I did so I noticed a bird (possibly a thrush but I'm not sure) speeding past. I pressed the shutter button almost by instinct.

Well caught. And I love the light in the foreground and those moody skies.
Thanks EC. It all came together for a moment.
Instinct as trained by thousands of hours creating photos. Amazing. I'd like to see a cropped version, just as a variation.
Zhoen, I thought the same thing about a cropped version but didn't think it worked as well. I might post it anyway and see what others think.
