Grub Time

                              

                              

Most of the Jays local to me are persecuted by the local Farmers and shoot syndicates and are very wary. So this was a unexpected meeting. And he was more interested in hiding his grub. You can see that his crown is striped. Unlike the Jays that I have photographed in Turkey or North Africa. So another new UK species for my blog. Only taken me 15 years to photograph one locally. Till next time peeps please keep safe.

Overlooking the Jay.

The Jay is very common in Turkey, and often overlooked by me. But i decided to quickly take this photo to try and show how it differs from the British race. Note the birds crown is all black, and on the british species this is striped.
