Jay

The most exciting thing happened this morning when I was in the kitchen (fortunately my camera was there too!). I saw this amazing bird pecking around in the guttering on the garage at the back of the house. I was shaking with excitement as I have never seen a Jay in real life! How sad is that! Anyway, I got a couple of pics before Steve came in the back door and frightened him away. I do hope he comes back again as I would love to take some more pics. I have only ever seen them in books but I recognised him straight away. I really will have to clean my kitchen windows if lovely birds are going to appear before me

Lucky you, to get him outside the window! I can see you will be throwing crusts onto the garage roof....

[Rosie Kind]

@kmrtn6 Thank you
@janturnbull Janet I will be googling to see what they like to eat and then I'll buy whatever it takes but I bet I won't see him again

[Rosie Kind]

@carolmw What a coincidence and thanks very much for the Fav

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh great job! I saw one with camera the other week when I was out with Monty but by the time I'd lifted camera to eye he was off!

[Judith Johnson]

Brilliant shot - you must be providing the right kind of food.

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

Great shot, I saw a few too, for the first time today as well. Got a few shots , but not as good as yours!!!

[Leana Niemand]

Such a lovely bird, nice capture Rosie

[Cindy Rez]

Great shot...I do hope he comes back and makes his home in your yard!!!

[Rosie Kind]

@judithg @busylady @rwhite @leananiemand @gphelps5 @cindyrez Thanks everyone. I have been looking out for him today but haven't seen him. The garden is quiet today for some reason. Despite putting loads of food out, I haven't seen any birds! I did get up late thought so maybe they have been and gone but will be back for supper!

[Anne ❀]

it's a pretty bird! the shade of blue is similar to that in our jays. i hope he/she comes back for another visit

[Hudd]

Wonderful shot, they are territorial, i beleive it'll be back, but they frighten so easily.

[Sandy]

You get such great detail in your shots.
