Eurasian Jay

Garrulus glandarius - and extra detail on More Puffed Up!

I know he has been BlipBigYear listed already (great shot, Mollyblobs) but I am tagging him anyway as it's a different view of this beautiful bird and the first time I have ever managed to photograph one of these in the garden - so I am thrilled to add him to my own personal list.

I couldn't decide on 'Mr Sleek' or 'Mr Puffed-Up-Feathers' so you get both ...... he sat in the tree, at the bottom of the garden (about 100' away) for the longest time and, watching him, I was amazed at how far round to the back he could turn his head. (This is another through-the-bedroom-window shot!!!!)
