I got lucky with the light here
when this beauty showed up!

info:
The Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) occurs over a vast region from Western Europe and north-west Africa to the eastern seaboard of Asia and down into south-east Asia. Across its vast range, several very distinct racial forms have evolved to look very different from each other, especially when forms at the extremes of its range are compared.
In Europe, "Jay" is used by people who speak the English language as a synonym for the Eurasian Jay.
The Eurasian Jay was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th century work Systema Naturae. He recognised its affinity with other corvids, naming it Corvus glandarius
A member of the widespread jay group, and about the size of the Jackdaw, it inhabits mixed woodland, particularly with oaks, and is an habitual acorn hoarder. In recent years, the bird has begun to migrate into urban areas, possibly as a result of continued erosion of its woodland habitat.

Hi Tom

What a charming capture of this lovely colored jay!
Yes, indeed, the light here is excellent and together with the pose of the bird made sure that the head was so nicely lighten.
The exposure is also spot-on and the details are wonderful and very sharp.
The composition is also lovely with that diagonally positioned branch as well as with sufficient room in the direction the bird is looking at.
Superb job!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Mikael,

Today I browsed to you gallery, congratulations this is wonderful, I'm no macro specialist but I like a lot of the nature and birds.
What a splendid example!

Best regards,

Ahh, den där skulle man ju ha i arkivet själv! Guldljus och mycket fin skärpa. Tycker det är bra känsla i bilden, de är inte så lätta att tas med dessa skygga fina fåglar!

Very nice capture of this fine bird!
