As you say a tad tight in the frame, otherwise a top quality image. Excellent shot.

Very nice indeed.
I,ve found if you make funny noises in a close hide they will often extend the crest.
If not they clear off

Excellent, even if a little tight as you say. I only ever see these flying away from me in the distance so I'm envious.

Very nice Jack - the eye contact and crest raised make this. For such a common bird Jays are a real bogie for me so I'm envious - too many cats near my back garden I think!

Nits mentioned, still a nice shot of what as Mark says is a bogie bird!
nice comp, i guess for me a little untidy BG and the red twig crossing in front of the jay. Otherwise I quite like seeing these from this way rather than flying away !

Pity about the twigs but not a huge thing, the crest is nice to see and I like the colours and subtle background
