We love the birds - and feed them (probably better than ourselves!) on a regular basis!
However - Public Enemy No 1 - is the bane of my life! Our bird feeders are more like something out of Fort Knox! Everything is caged and guarded - which adds enormously to the cost of feeding our little feathered friends. But still the squirrels persist - even to the extend of chopping down branches on trees if they can't get at the food in the feeders! So - please - don't anyone say "ah" when they see the pesky-pest's pix?!!
Bright and early the other morning, I was rewarded by seeing - not one - but FOUR Jays skipping about on the lawn, trying to work out how to get into the caged ground feeder.
Notoriously shy birds, they flitted off at the first noise from the kitchen. So I missed being able to catch four of them on the lawn. However, they returned later - but not as a bunch - and the following pix are the best of a poor selection I managed to get on that occasion.
I think it's a family of Jays - Mum, Dad and two of their young. They seem to come into the garden very early in the morning - so the camera is now set up on the tripod, ready for action - so with a bit of luck, I may yet be able to post a picture of FOUR Jays in my garden!
