Hi Jules,
Sorry mate no i dont you guessed wrong im affraid, as you know i was actually waiting for something else to land and this jackdaw landed took a mealworm gave me the eye contact i hit the shutter and it was gone in a flash, only managed to get 2 captures. Just one of those that i got the eye contact hit the shutter then noticed the worm afterwards . And if you knew me then you would know my PS skills are very limited lol, i wasnt actually going to upload it here, i just did to show it mate thats all

It does work quite well good eye contact shame its got the mealworm, I think I know what you waiting for to land with those famous perches
I like it. The mealworm doesn't really bother me. We all got to eat don't we?

Hi Brian
Nicely positiond frame and a good pose, but the contrasty light hasn't helped. Some shadow detail would help.

Looks like it's "bird on rusty metal" week this week
A great capture
Geoff.

Meal worm or not, It works for me! Great eye contact, from a very skittish, intelligent bird, well done. If I had to say one thing, I'd say slightly over sharpened, but it could be my monitor.
