Garden: Jay Flyby

Flashier and wavier in large.
Extras:
Chasing parakeet dodging branch (inverted)
Zebra spider inversions

I took photos of the garden birds in the morning (inc. of parakeets stealing all of the blossoms, and chasing each other), then took the macro lens out into the garden in the early afternoon and found a jumping spider... I was pleased to catch one of the chasing parakeets flying almost upside down as it contorted to avoid a springing branch (springing up because it was suddenly unladen as the parakeet's competitor took flight), so have uploaded a crop of that as an extra.

I couldn't decide on the up or the down beat from this jay's morning flyby, so I merged them. Well, I preferred the upbeat, but suspect that it'd be a crime to blip a jay without its flash of electric blue...? Don't see jays very often in town.
