Je vous propose un autre cliché de cet oiseau, j'ai eu la chance d'en faire quelques uns avant qu'il ne s'envole

source oiseaux.net

Le geai des chênes est reconnaissable entre tous par son plumage bigarré aux couleurs vives. Même à distance, l'association des tons clairs et foncés attire toujours l'oeil. Le dos est brun rosé, le croupion blanc, la queue noire mais la partie la plus remarquable de son plumage se compose des couvertures alaires bleues striées de noir et de blanc. La poitrine est beige rosé, la tête dont les plumes de dessus peuvent être hérissées en une huppe arrondie est grise et noire. Le bec court et rectiligne est souligné par d'épaisses moustaches noires. Il n'y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel. Mâles et femelles sont strictement semblables.

Bonsoir Pat,
What a magnificent pose!
I like so much this inclined pose and the way it has the head turned to the right, with its big catch on the beak.
Good lighting and well balanced composition with the help of the branches.
Felicitacions et merci du partage.
Mes amities,
JM

Hi Pat,
What a beautiful shot, excellent POV and framing I love the way this Eurasian Jay is positioned, stunning detail in the plumage, colours are amazing, really stands out against the soft background, lovely work, Cheers Rick :)

belle image, superbement cadré, je dit cela car tu as laissé

un superbe focus et un très bon profondeur de champs, TFS

Hi Pat,

This is wonderful! A beautiful bird caught at a wonderful moment. Great timing to get him with the big peanut in his beak. Superb details of the face, wings and plummage. Lovely natural colors, pretty setting and a marvelous composition.

Jane

This one really sticks out well Pat. The contrast and colours are as dynamic as they get. The image is top notch and clear as well....This should be in your top ten for sure!

Hallo Pat
This Eurasian Jay has such a variety of colourful details that caught my eye. The blue colour of the bird’s eye is just stunning and attracted me immediately. I don’t think I ever saw a bird with this eye colour. The different patterns as well as colours on the wings are amazing. I also like the black stripes on the birds head and it looks like it has been combed backwards. The birds nails looks so sharp but also very fragile. The peanut is off course the cherry on the cake and rounds of this lovely photo. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Pat.
Wonderful scene, Amazing pose of the bird and head turn. Timing is great as well as the details and sharpness of the bird, nut and stump. Colours are vibrant and fine too. I also like wonderful BG, Despite the domination of dry grass blurriness and impressiveness of the BG is excellent. My compliments. Perfect job.
Alexei.

Salut Patt,
Ta photo me fait penser à la fable de la Fontaine "Le renard et le corbeau "! Maître geai, sur un piquet perché, tenait en son bec une cacahuète; Maître Patt, par la photo attiré, lui tira le portrait(e)... Un coup de fatigue pour moi, mais tes deux dernières photos de geai sont des merveilles. velui-ci a une position peu courante. Seul reproche : je trouve tes cadres un peu lourd...
Bonne soirée.
Antoine.

Bonjour Pat,
Magnifqiue POV, une belle scène en plein action avec de très belles couleurs naturelles , peut-être un peu de bruit dans le BG.
Merci
Marie

Bonsoir Pat, j'adore cette photo! L'écaille de l'arachide a le même pattern, ou presque, que les ailes. J'aime beaucoup la composition, et d'avoir gardé le tronc d'arbre si loin dans le bas de la photo, c'est vraiment beau comme effet. La composition est très belle aussi, les petites herbes séchées tout près de l'oiseau, les couleurs qui s'entremêlent, vraiment, c'est une belle réussite Pat. Merci beaucoup!

Hi Pat, elegant bird with splendid colors, lovely details and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Bonjour Pat,
Nice capture in a fine pose of the Eurasian Jay with a peanut in its beak. Though perhaps a little over-sharpened, this image has excellent colours, POV and OOF natural BG.
Merci pour le partage,
Amicalement,

Pat,
Great capture at just the right moment. Seems as though the bird has bitten off more the it will be able to swallow. Very sharp and detailed image. Excellent composition with vivid colours.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful photo.
