Look what was in our garden this morning

I have never seen one before
I believe it's a Jay.
Poor thing sitting on the fence in pouring rain.

 

Are its feet on backwards? :eek:

 

He/she is lovely, Lyn, but I ask the same question as The Nut .... are the feet on backwards or just sitting a little sideways?

Wonderful photo ..... wish I could do the same.

 

Great shot Lyn, :thumb: and yes, it is a jay.

We have quite a few of them around here but it is very difficult to get a good shot of one as they take off at the slightest movement

 

Smashing picture Lyn I tend to hear them before spotting them. Noisy blighters with such a panicky call:D

 

:D:D:D

I never noticed the feet.
I think it might have been sitting forward and turned to have a look around.
It was very frightened.
Heres another photo of it.

 

That's a wonderful shot, well done!

 

Thank you.
I try to keep my camera handy.
I missed a sparrow hawk and was really miffed so I try to be ready.
It's just luck.
This was early this morning.
I always seem to see the birds early on a sunday morning.
Probably because it's quiet and everyone's in bed but me.

 

That's great! I'd love to have a jay visit the garden - you are lucky!

 

It's back again.
Not sure if the video will work never posted one before.
Just thought I would share it with you.
It is a lovely bird.

 

The video works perfectly, Lyn, he really must feel safe and at home in your garden. I just love the second shot, so clear. Beautiful birds even if they are bullies.

 

Looking good Lyn, well done.

 

Oooo I didn't no they were bullies.
It hid in next door tree when the Magpie was around , so not so brave. :D:D:D
