Excellent work Dean

Obviously mastered the harsh light, unless it was a tad more softer, down Dorset wayWink

A wonderful Jay image, set off by a good perch and backdrop

Superb capture, Dean.
I don't get any luck with Jays.
They are exceptionally nervous on my patch as my hide is in
a wood that is on a pheasant shoot.
