Had the opportunity to photograph Jays recently, a subject that has unfortunately eluded me for a good few years.

Its fast and furious once they know you’ve put food down for them and boy do they eat, they cram as much food as possible into their mouth just like a hamster then flying off and hiding it....but they soon come back bringing pigeons, doves and squirrels which always get in the way :mad:

Look forward to meeting many of you at the Conference in Feb!

a handsome bird, and one I've never managed a good shot of. Nicely taken.

I'm with Matt in that I have never managed a decent shot either. Very nice image.

A nice clean image, shown nicely in “parkland” habitat where most now see them. Nice one.
