A Request,

I shouted up at this Jay high up in the trees and said,
"can you fly down and find me a nice moss-covered branch with a nice diagonal and sit there and pose showing me your best side and give me 3 seconds to get my shot".

I don't think he heard or understood me but he granted my wish and I give you a picture of this beautiful Jay.

    What a good fellow that obeys your request ! The "diagonal mossy branch" is the icing on the cake for your picture ;-) BW. Elvi

    It is such a pleasure to see your shots of the Jays, they are usually so very illusive. This really is a superb shot Maurice, very well done.

    I think I will start calling you "The Jay Whisperer". Perfect shot and presentation (with an exception of that bright green moss in the corner). Great shot!
