Thanks

They are very shy and alert. It seems funny that they are so shy when there smaller brethren aren't nearly as shy. This is a beautiful shot.

Marie LC from Voiron, France

Oui Paco c'est bien ça, le Geai bleu, avec le Cardinal, sont mes oiseaux préférés. Merci, celui-ci est très beau. Quant à mon dos et bien je me repose le plus possible et j'avale quantité de médicaments anti-douleur et inflammatoires... j'espère que ça ira mieux très vite. Merci d'avoir pris de mes nouvelles. Amicalement.

What a shot. This is great the blue against the green. I am so amazed you got the image with such clarity. This is a fast-timid bird.
