A new bird species in the garden......................................................... number 29

I have had my first ever Jay in the garden this morning... it takes my "in the garden" count to 29.

Not bad for a tiny suburban garden.

Lets hope it returns. They are noisy blighters but very attractive.

Bizarrely my sister spotted her first one yesterday too, in Highgate Wood in London. She sent me a very simlar, but rather blurrier, photograph

Cheers!

Did it take any food? A great bird to get in the garden.

Pretty good for your little garden. I must do a ird species count in mine on the farm. Our 3 acre garden on the mountain yielded 68.

wow....that is a lot for one little space....

For the reputation of being kind of "brash" ... I've only seen one as well...they get a bad rap.....
