Eurasian Jay
Eurasian Jay / garrulus glandarius. Mapperley Wood, Derbyshire. 28/01/19.
This Jay never once announced it's arrival at the feeding area. Every time it would approach cautiously, working it's way forward via a series of partially concealed perches. Always vigilant, if something didn't quite suit it, it would fly off silently ... only to try again later. Jays are such canny birds and always rather awesome to watch going about their daily lives.
I imagine nothing much escapes their steely blue stare!
