Eurasian (Common) Jay is the only Jay you need to worry about, Blue Jay (which is smaller than Eurasian Jay) is a North American species that does not occur in Europe. Eurasian Jays are quite large, about Jackdaw size. Blue Tits are small birds, smaller than a House Sparrow.You should look up the sounds of Eurasian Jays online, which are not hard to see or hear in the wild (assuming it isn't one of those species absent from Ireland?).A Great Tit (slightly larger than a Blue Tit) would not have a blue head.As for your initial bird...my head hurts just thinking about itB <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />James</blockquote>
