My picture of the day...

The just must Ave heard us talking about them as I just had a flock of about 10 of them flit in and out the trees just beyond the garden, it was the noise that alerted me....very strange!! They were gone again in a matter of 60 seconds

They can make a racket... I have only ever seen a couple together though, very odd.

Finally found what you've been looking for well done SM

Thanks Linda, I have taken so many useless photo's of Jays this year. They are very common at the reserve but were being almost as difficult as the green woodpeckers...

Ten green woodpeckers Is there a collective noun for them? A "Yaffle" might work but I'll leave it to the experts.

Oh, nice, Snappy, not seen a Mistle Thrush in yonks! (although, of course, I might have and just mistaken it for something else )
