A few more shots from an hour in the park this afternoon:
I then decided I wanted some shots with the Jays off the ground, so I found a small stump nearby, and propped it up in an appropriate place. I placed a few peanuts on or near the stump, and, in no time at all, the Jays came down for their food:
Can never have too many pictures of these lovely birds. I might even head back tomorrow for another go!
You're right Jeremy, you can't do without them. A bit of paradise on photographes.
ReplyDeleteLovely little Jay, and thinking on your feet to put that post up for it to landd on. Really nice colours.

Fantastic images of the Jays the background works well as does the stump. Ive done the same in my back garden.
ReplyDeleteJays have such character about them, so full of themselves and yet each species very lovely. The feather colouration of your species is marvelous...great images...happy week~
ReplyDeleteStunning!! I think you have this one on a contract. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

ReplyDeleteThe beauty and the Photographer - ohh, no - the beauty and the bird :-))

Can i be cheeky and ask where abouts in Singleton park do you find such tame birds...??
ReplyDeleteAJ, Walking up Singleton from the bottom, go past the entrance to the university on the left, then past the main entrance to the Ornamental Gardens on the left, and turn into a small wooded area with a picnic table on the right. This is where I photographed the Jays. Throw down a few peanuts and they should appear after a while. Also plenty of other tame small birds here, plus in the Botanical Gardens further up the park.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots!
