WOW ! Another stunning picture C3D. I'm with 4P on this - I love birds of prey. They are such fantastic creatures.

Wow! That must have been taken with a super fast shutter speed, or all you would have got would have been a blur......brilliant pic!  |

They are lovely photos C3Ds and you are really lucky to have such good subjects, I am terrible with the camera but I am married to a ex RAF photoghtapher so I leave it to him but he did give me one of his cast off digitals but he is new to them himself, as he trained on what I call proper cameras.  |

I'm not very good with the camera either. Mike is a Pediatric Reconstructive Surgeon but likes his wildlife photography. Some of them are really nice! |

I can't believe the colour and pattern on the Blue Jay! It looks like a butterfly's wing, the markings are so strong. Beautiful. We have woodpeckers which look very similar but I can never remember if it is the Lesser Spotted or the Greater Spotted....whichever is right, they are very attractive birds. I love the fluting motion as they fly. And boy, do they get through the peanuts! Mike is brilliant C3D!

Oooh, I thought the jays we have over here are lovely, but they come a distant second to the Blue ones!! Great pictures, again, C3D!  Keith |

The Jays do go through the peanuts and everything else. They are VERY loud too but fantastic alarms if a hawk or owl is near. Glad you liked the pics. |

Hi Karen. Thanks. Glad you like the pics. We are very fortunate to have them visit our garden. Hiya A. I AM wiped out! I was before I started working full time but there does not seem to be a time to be able to catch up with things. More things demand attention and so it goes. Mike and our children help a lot with the animals at home. Sometimes if the receptionist at work doesn't come in on a Saturday, Mike helps there too. He's a keeper! |

I've heard of Blue Jays before but never seen a pic of one - great photo and what a beautiful bird. In fact they're all beautiful birds, and wonderful camerawork. What's up with puss? |

 Sorry to report the kitty died. He was 12 years old and apparently had eaten a mouse that was poisoned earlier in the day. The 12 year old cat died of rodenticide toxicity. He bled internally and * NOTHING would stop it. Not Vitamin K or a transfusion.... How very sad! |
