We have Jays visiting the garden quite often but the Magpies have a tendency to chase them away before I get a chance to photograph them. They're also fairly shy.

They're so shy over here, never managed any descent shot so far.

A spectacular close-up of this Jay taking the time to eat its peanut. The clarity and image quality is brilliant and a magnificent subject. Quality work Graham! TFS!

I've never had a Jay in my garden, wonder if that's why the Magpies don't stay? No fun for them LOL

A fabulous picture you've taken of this guy Graham - thanks laddie.
 
Thanks very much to all of you for taking the time to post these very generous comments on this portrait of a Jay!
