Shot taken from my back garden hide, I placed suet in the branch.
This jay is one quick dude. I focussed on his eye and then locked focus I pressed the shutter knowing he would look up and round - bang high speed motor drive a few shots and he was off! Must get round to a new perch this looks like it is past it's best with the woodpecker and squirrels also having a go at it!
Hey Jon, good looking species. He certainly heard your shutter with this inquisitive pose. I like the comp, great IQ, and the Jay has good detail throughout. Pops nicely from your BG. I agree, a perch full of lichen would have looked better.:w3 Now that you have mentioned the squirrels, how about a shot of one of your avian visitors and the squirrel on your perch. :w3
I was going to do that but a golden eagle came down and carried off the squirrel - haven't seen him since:Whoa!:Quote:

Well done.
