Brilliant!!!!  I don't know how you get a shot of a Jay, I've never managed to get anywhere near one.

absoloutely, completly and utterly stunning. i have never seen anything so beautiful......that is one big WOW and a you are amazing BW from me....

Every time I go walking in my local woods I hear Jays screaming/screeching and I often see them too. How did you get this shot, did you have cover and wait? You couldn't have been walking and just snapped it surely.

i did get a couple of shots of a jay on the isle of wight..but they was useless....it was so dark and rainy..but i wont bin the pics cause i may never see a jay again. they don't seem to be so shy on the island..and i was just walking john...not saying that was how BW got this shot..this looks like an awful lot of patience..

I've only ever seen one Jay and that was in Fuji's part of the world. It was high up in a tree so was impossible to get a good shot.

This one is beautiful. The pose and angle shows the beautiful patterns on his wings without losing the focus on his eye.

In the woods where I walk the dogs there are a few I have been leaving food for a while now they usually follow me come down quickly then dissapear . In one area where I have got shots before they have moved away I am not sure if this is to do with the mating season or the fact that a lot of people picked up on what I was doing and it got to much for them they are very nervous .This shot was after I had been in a hide for about five hours it landed in the distance in a wooded area and lucky for me there was a good light source  I am hoping this new spot where I have been with the dogs , which is a lot more remote will reap some rewards soon . It certainly is possible to get shots while walking just takes time to encourage them and patience .

They are very shy here and extremely nervous

This is a really good image, good detail, colour and composition. Jay's can be hard to photograph as very flighty birds. Well done

[Leon]

absolutely brilliant!
