Jay - Garrulus Glandarius
Although they are the most colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.
The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently.
The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established.
In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

"Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart
I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You (Don't ask me)
You were standing (You know it's true)
I was there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I was standing
You were there"
They say swearing is due to limited vocabulary.
I know thousands of words, but I still prefer “FK OFF” to “go away”.

Welcome spring, let your tepid breath move the still young, fresh green leaves.
Open the stalls of the cows and let hem out along with their young calves, open the buds of the flowers and spread the softly sweet fragance of the blossoms.
Let us enjoy the most beautiful season of the year called spring........
They say that Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
If true or not it doesn't matter because all of this is what I wish to you, dear Flickr friends, in the beginning of one more week, a very special week in some parts of the world ;)

Don't eat its leaves. Don't eat its roots. Don't eat its stems. They are toxic. But, supposedly the "apples", which are not really apples, are edible.
Mayapple is a native perennial wildflower of the moist woods, often found in large colonies in Michigan. They have two large leaves, and a single white flower on nodding stems.

Yesterday was Earth Overshoot Day (EOD), the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity’s resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. (1987= 19th of December)
Time to reconsider our consumption habits !

Wheatears back on the moors. I think these are my favourite upland passerines (although Whichat run them close, but they're not here yet)
They are here, not a lot of time to get out looking. My one hope is my little grandaughter gets her wish to see one this year, finally one that has taken interest and she will be getting a camera for Christmas..
It took a bit of effort but they are off to a nearby field only to return again in the evening. Fabulous to see
They have a highly audible song for such a small bird. It took several minutes before I could locate him as he sang a few phrases from one place, and then started again in another location. Luckily for me, he flew down to an open perch very close where he sang and raised his crown.
It was a bright overcast backlight situation. I was close enough to get detail though, and I really like the way those red crown feathers were lighted from behind.
If you have never heard its song, Check the link below.

The last few days, the cedar waxwings have been enjoying the berries on our dogwood trees. Always happy to see them back as Autumn approaches!
It's so lovely to see the second brood common blues back in good numbers near home - I saw very few of the first brood 💙

Numbers 26:65 “For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.”
Although they are not the only birds to engage in similar behaviour, gannets are famous for "billing" or “mutual fencing.” While it can happen any time both birds from a mated pair are at their nest site, it is quite routine when one bird returns to the nest after foraging for food or nesting material. The two gannets will face each other, often touching and calling. They then shake their heads side to side with their bills clacking together. They often bow, rub necks, and preen each other’s neck before taking up the more mundane activities of nesting in colonies, such as bickering and fighting with neighbors.
They make me regret I am not a bee :-)
