These guys always make a terrific image. Great detail in the plumage. Getting near enough is the proplem.

Really nice composition.

Very nice as per your normal standard, I see you have some new kit, I got a D300 yesterday and am off for a week to give it a test out-The Jays here are very colourful-something like this would be great

Great stuff Edwin.
My only thought is that it is a tiny bit big in the frame, and some more space on the right would help- but no big deal.
Lovely shot.

Hi Edwin

Maybe a tad large in the frame but everything else looks perfect - great light, pose, BG and perch!

Really lovely looking shot Edwin and the BG sets it off a treat :smile:

Fine shot in itself Edwin, but it's the bg that sets it apart. Make the most of it though, this wind will be ruining your BGs soon enough.
