Agreed, overcast conditions often provide better lighting for photography than bright sunny days. Backlighting can produce cool effects, but more often it just makes it harder to see the subject. It can also make it harder for auto focus to work fast enough for live animals. And with solid birds, especially white or black, it can make it night on impossible to capture any details.I find that overcast days are better with mine.
