Eurasian Jay (Eichelhäher/Garrulus glandarius) in the Snow

Our Garden

A member of the widespread jay group and about the size of the Jackdaw, it inhabits
mixed woodland, particularly with oaks, and is an habitual acorn hoarder.
Its usual call is the alarm call which is a harsh, rasping screech and is
used upon sighting various predatory animals, but the Jay is well known
for its mimicry, often sounding so like a different species.
