Just A Jay.

Jay ........Garrulus glandarius
This last week at Penrice has seen the disappearance of nearly all the small Woodland birds.
Coal Tits , Great Tits, Blue Tits and Chaffinch have all stayed away from the feeding station. Also the regular Nuthatches and the female Great Spotted Woodpecker have also vanished.
An hours watch today yielded up a lone Robin, The ubiquitous male Pheasant and a quick visit by the Jay which was captured above.

  2. Trevor, that is a cracker. I'd love to get half as close as that, with this bird.

  6. Hi Keith. It is funny really with this Jay...I photographed him again yesterday looking down at me from the trees and again on the floor. Cannot keep putting them up though as people will think they are from the same shoot.

  7. Thanks Monts.

    I still need a lot of the Gulls for life ticks...but it is not easy identifying them when they are in mixed flocks. Ringed Bill and Glaucous Gulls next I hope.
