Eurasian Jay
Hello,
at time i try to capture the landing pose. The best way i had found is AI-Servo and one (middle) AF-Field. AF-Speed is set fast
I focused the perch and if the bird coming i raised up the lens to the bird. With this procedure i make a lot of sharp pictures.

All comments welcome
Good technics and an excellent landing pose and image, Holger.
Thats a fine image Holger. Beautiful open wings with nice light on them. I like the fine hairs under the wings we would never see in most poses.

Seems to be working well for you Holger! Perfect wingspread and I love the silvery sheen on the feathers. A bit of pixilation in the BG due to resizing but I have no doubt the full res version must be awesome! Looks good as is but how about raising the ISO and stopping down to possibly get the perch within dof?
Nice technique and excellent pose, Holger. Love the dark bg and the nice details. Very nice work.
Hi Holger, excellent timing, and just love the show of the full wingspread. I also like how we can see the feet in touch down mode. Good eye contact, and the bird pops against the darker BG. Well captured.
Very nice Holger. The wing spread and the fixed stare are perfect. I like your technique of getting the bird coming in. I might give it a try as I shoot birds coming in to perches allot. Well done
Excellent landing pose with nice IQ & stretched wings. Very well done.
Hi Holger, I like the open wing and 'landing' posture, the nice rich colour certainly makes the subject 'pop', however the BKG does need a little attention to eliminate the pixilation, surprising at ISO400.
