D200 Sigma 500mm f4.5 ISO500

Had taken Rosie to Formby as i know she loves Squirrels and wildlife. While we awaited the reds to arrive, i spotted this jay flitting about. As usual it was very shy, luckily it was attracted by some acorns... on the wrong side of a hillock! Ah well i'll get some feet maybe next time... Still happy with it though :smile:

Hi Paul,

Nice shot. Lovely subtle autumn colours and a nice bit of behaviour with the Jay.

Regards

Great lighting and autumnal tones on this, It's a lovely image, I'm not bothered about the missing feet.
