The elusive Jay by pamknowler

The elusive Jay

What a wonderful morning watching the birds on the bird table. It is raining and very windy so I have been sitting with my coffee watching through the window. Such a variety of birds all feeding together. Then the woodpecker arrived and I got some lovely shots when suddenly he froze and was looking up. Wow what a surprise when this beautiful Jay landed on the top of the bird table. I was so surprised I missed the shot but luckily he went down onto the grass and posed for me. I am so thrilled to get this shot as I have previously only spotted a Jay very briefly as it flew away. They are very shy birds and easily frightened away. This has made my holiday!! So many wonderful bird captures but this one for me tops the lot!!
Such a good shot Pam, such a lovely looking bird. I’m amazed at your photos through the window.

Smashing shot! We used to have a pair of jays in the garden of our old house, but have never seen any here. Jus tlove them. Well done for this, they are hard to capture.

Gosh you are seeing so many birds and I bet you will miss them when you get home. Not long now but I'm sure you will be glad to get into your new kitchen! It will be exciting to see how it's changed. Great shot by the way

Lucky you. I know how difficult it is to get a shot like this of a Jay without being in a hide

Never have seen a jay with those markings. We have the typical blue jay around here. And on a trip I saw a stellar jay.
