Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica)

A jay in my garden - made with my new 6D and 70-200mm 4.0 IS @ 200mm f/4.5.

What kind of Jay is that Pkin?

This is what would translate directly from Danish 'Skovskade' to English 'Forest Jay'.
Correct name will be: Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Jay

This was noted by Sporgon, too. Thank you.

This jay is rather shy, but as I feed regularly in my garden I have them as guests almost daily, and taking care to move slowly I can phtograph them through an open window.

I hereby add another one, that I got recently with my new kit (6D):
Kernebideren = Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)
aka 'The flying Nutcracker'

Not an exotic bird but nice, nonetheless. Mallard drake, 5D iii, 100-400 F4 - 5.6L

And, here's a Mexican Mallard -- a subspecies -- ignoring the insect on his neck.
