These are Steller's Jays, rather audacious creatures that announce there presence with a loud raspy call, or a sudden sapphire flash as they zoom by in the forest.
Felix I'm not big on equipment shots but really like your second image.
Here are some photos of the Wood taken with the D800 and 24mm PC-E.

Been off distracted by 101 things, finally got to shoot a little this morning with the K mount 55/3.5, always been a fun lens to use.
Love love these. The processing was perfect. I have the 2.8 ais version and it has to be my favorite all around Nikkor.

Remnants of a volcano 24 million years ago, the Tweed Caldera is over 1000m deep and 40km wide !
Before it erupted it was 2000m high and covered 7000 sq.km
This is the right side of it, the peak to the left is Mt Warning, named by Captain Cook in 1770
One of the significant calderas in the world, it has World Heritage status
Got my E100 slides back from the 4th. This was my first time shooting fireworks, I never knew it was as simple as stopping down and keeping the shutter open while they're in the air. There's no real composition to speak of here. I didn't plan well enough for a good spot, so I aimed above the tree and hoped for the best.
Andy, That is an angle of Mt Warning I did not see in 2007. From Byron Bay - I seem to remember seeing it either at sunrise from the lighthouse or late afternoon on the beach in an almost orange haze. There were some some bush fires back then. Your post before this looks very much like the camping area we camped at in Binna Burra for a few days. An amazing amount of fearless wildlife, birds, and plant life. Being from North America I had never encountered wildlife that did not fear people, and during our stay they wandered into our camp, and tents many times. Thanks for sharing.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 MarkII + adapter + Nikkor 300mm f/4.5K ED non-IF hand held, ISO 1000, f/5.6 at 1/1000s. 95% cropped (19/20MP). This guy (or girl? no sexual dimorphism here) was confident, almost no need for cropping!

What a cool view, Andy. I originally saw this on the phone. Much better on the bigger screen.
Z6, 85 f2. I used the Fotasy F to Z adapter. Worked pretty well and a very lightweight package overall. Would make for a great travel walkaround. Found out later though the Fotasy adapter has some inexact dimensions. An adapted 105 mounted on it, but the aperture ring refused to budge.
In trying to understand why Holiday's statue is in such an anonymous spot, it turns out a very famous theatre, Royal, was diagonally across this statue on Pennsylvania Avenue. The theatre is long gone, just an open grassy rectangle left now, and no sign of the bustling activity from decades ago:
