I snapped this handsome chap visiting my garden this afternoon: Isn't he wonderful? I know that gamekeepers, etc don't like them but they are handsome and have such beautiful colours. And a very good photograph as well Sleepy, well captured! |

Great photo Sleepy. A very attractive bird. I've never seen one in my garden.

I've just realised I have this photo too. Not quite as sharp, but a better profile.  |

I see Jays quite often driving through the forest but only flashes as they nip through the trees. I think they are beautiful birds. Funnily enough, I was sitting in Nick and Pru's house at lunchtime having a cuppa when a Jay landed right outside their window. I've never had such a good view of one before. Beautiful colours aren't they?

Beautiful colours aren't they? I'd rather see a glimpse of one in the forest than one like this, 4P. I know zoos do a wonderful job, but it's not the same, is it? I've been scanning old photos again!!  |

Poor Jay! What was his crime? You would have had to ask the cureator of London Zoo, 30 years ago to find that one out! |

I doubt very much if that sort of thing goes on anymore! I'm afraid I don't like to see any birds caged up although I know it's necessary sometimes, like C3D's rescue stuff. I hate to see the little canaries etc in the GC's - poor little things.
