Thanks for the kind comments on the Herring Gull. This Jay was 56 yards away, so quite a heavy crop and a slightly soft image (I don't like sharpening too much these days). The bird was on a big tree I call the Far Pine, which does get some good birds, including Sparrowhawks and (in winter)...

They dominate the feeder. A bowl of nuts is gone every day. I'm gonna go bankrupt at this rate.

My local jays are very skittish, so I had to take this photo through a closed window. The moment they hear the click of the opening window, they scurry away from the food

Fairly heavy crop, the bird had been perched on the same tree as the Blackbird posted yesterday. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

Winter preperation. Eurasian Jay carries two of oak nuts in one goal. The second one is in its troath, half way...

A rather long range shot (from 50 metres) taken in December. Phew! It's only 10.15pm but I'm off to bed where it's cooler. It's been pretty warm. See you in the morning, folks. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

Belated Happy New Year (and Decade) to all. Here's a Jay on a dull day. Thank you for your kind comments on my pictures, and good birding! John
