Pity about the Twigs.


Eurasian Jay ........Garrulus gladarius.

Photographed yesterday at a private Baywatch site.
The Jay is often seen at the site and I am hoping for an uncluttered close-up soon.

  1. They are beauties Trevor, but difficult to get close to.

  2. I suspect this is a beautiful bird when seen alone. Nice shot and happy you got this one.

  3. Hi Keith. Yes a very shy bird. This one was fifty yards plus away and was the closest it came in five sightings.

  4. Hello Abraham.

    Yes they are indeed colourful and the first time you see one you are wondering ..what the blazes was that. We do have one visit the garden on rare occasions but we have never managed a photograph.

  5. Super colours. They never let me close enough to even press the shutter....I know, longer lens needed!!

  6. Very shy Frank. He gave me the slip today whilst I laid in wait. Getting a close up requires a little fieldcraft or a very good hide. Still I am on his trail ummmm.
