Eurasian Jay .......Garrulus glandarius
There is a canopy of trees overhead which makes shooting conditions pretty dismal at times .
The photograph was taken at the 330mm zoom setting. Iso 1600. F8 at 1/30 sec from inside the car ...given the poor light I am happy with the outcome.
The Jay is getting that close..I think it wants a ride in the car.
That Jay really takes the biscuit. I've trying to get one - the pics were not available. Its good to see yours,
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Trevor , looks like you have a real poser there .Well Done
ReplyDeleteA cracking shot Trevor. I think you've found a friend there lol
ReplyDeleteI do love the Jay watch posts, Trevor. It is so long since I have seen one!
ReplyDeleteI'm very envious of the Yellowhammer photo on the last post. I took dozens of photos of one on a telegraph wire the other day but it was very late and the light had gone so none of them were good :(
Hello Bob.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment...he plays up a lot but I manage to get a shot most days I go there.
Thanks Monts. Not intentionally...he is generally on a quick grab and run raid.
ReplyDeleteHi Keith.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are right. It is fun watching the antics of the Jay, G.S Woodpecker and the Squirrel.
Hi Jan.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky with the Jay as they are not usually so easy to photograph. The Yellowhammer I happened again to be in the right place at the right time with a few of them singing from Gorse bushes and posts.. Normally I get the poor shots on the telegraph wire as well....when you reflect on it ..most shots taken on the telegraph wires are poor...think Swallows, Goldfinches etc.
