Through the window

I was sitting at my desk this afternoon, when I noticed through the window a bird I had never seen before, resting on a branch of a dead tree, about 15 meters away. Time to take my always-at-hand Leica V-Lux 20, aim, zoom at 49.2/4.1 and take the picture, and the guy had taken off. I must confess that I was surprised by the result of the framed image below. Do not forget : through the window, 15 meters away and within two seconds or so. Even a very small Leica with a Vario-Elmar can surprise.

I tried to send you a PM about this photo but your mailbox must be full.

It's a Jay. Quite common round here (UK). Not to be confused with Blue jays or other non Eurasian 'jays'.

Hi, Stun. My mailbox "Clix" was full, indeed (bloody ads!), but you can try c.p.jeandrain@sapo.pt.

I take this opportunity to precise to your wife that her name is familiar to me : not only because we live in Santa Barbara de Nexe, but especially because the last of our four grandchildren is called Barbara - and lives with us.

Thank you, "wattsy". It is a nice bird, quite big (like a pigeon?), and I hope to have other and better opportunities to "portray" it.
