Beautifully sharp from beak to tail-tip, you have handled the depth of field very well.

Good one! Wish they would get used to my setup - they are very difficult up here, which frustrates me as a relative on the south coast has them in his urban garden. Grass is always greener....

Thanks all
Ian .
Funny birds they are. Once they have settled though they are really tame. They have probably been persecuted a bit more where you are ??

Hello John.

Lovely Jay image and a very nice setting to capture the Jay in and I think the square crop as work very nicely.
