    Inspection

    The Jay came back again, and sat on a funny branch thing at the back of the feeding area. Obviously checking that it was safe to come right in.

    Full crop

    Then we had a Eurasian Jay visiting for a few days. At least this was the first of many I saw, but I've a funny feeling he'd been around already for a bit as he knew exactly where to go to pick up the peanuts. LOL You can see how full his crop is already!

    A Jay Day

    Whenever a Jay comes near the feeding area I have to try and record the visit with a picture... this is his favourite initial perch where he seems to sit to check out if there's been a food delivery and if it's safe to approach. I'm sure he thinks he can't be seen there. However, intervening...

    What's going on over there?

    A Eurasian Jay wondering if he should be going that way instead of the way he was heading!! It was still a thrill to get a jay at our new feeders, though they rarely used a feeder, preferring instead the peanuts which had been thrown on the ground where I can't get a picture LOL Not fair is it!
  13. New visitor

    New visitor

    A Eurasian Jay decided to test out our feeders in May (a little over a week before this image was taken). Once he found the nuts he was hooked and we see him just about every visit now. In fact one day I saw two, but the other one didn't come down to the feeders but stayed up in the trees.

    At long, long last

    I get a picture of a Jay. My usual view of them is a disappearing white rump into the trees. This is the first picture I've taken of one in Scotland and here he was at the new feeding station we set up at the beginning of winter last year. We were sitting in the car having lunch when I caught a...

    This was the only shot I got before the bird flew. Somehow the camera focused successfully on the bird's eye and bill, bit of a fluke really. I wasn't even using single point AF. Stay safe and well, and good birding!

    I wasn't going to post this completely accidental shot of a Jay and Redwing (though it might have done for SF). Then a title came to mind. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well. John

    Taken yesterday. I don't know if it's the same bird I posted on Tuesday, but Jays seem particularly busy with acorns at the moment, presumably stashing them away as winter food. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well. John

    Jay

    Most of the time, the Jays at the feeder area stay at a distance, darting in for a quick seed grab then dashing away again. But perhaps they are gaining boldness as they become more accustomed to people sitting there and not bothering the birds. This one came quite close and stood still for...

    Eurasian jay mimicking birdsong

    Yesterday I heard a jay make sweet sqeaky sounds as if it was imitating some songbird. I've heard jays make buzzardlike calls before, but that's a first. The mimicry was quite muffled, and I didn't see any other jays nearby, so I guess it didn't serve for communication. The bird repeated the...
