Jays on film

A few more photos and a Trail Cam video from my hide rota week.
Also a few of the long-staying hybrid Pintail at Keptie Pond in Arbroath. The pond had 6 Goosander drakes and a Little Grebe but I couldn't see any Wigeon, probably as there's no ice and many flooded fields in the countryside. 

Instead of trying to photograph the Jays, I stuck my Trail Cam on the morass of branches over the feeder table, and closed the webbing while sitting stock still at the back of the hide. It worked despite their best efforts to knock the camera down!

Puffed up plumage for a bit of heat on a cold damp morning. Probably being fed by hide visitors in the hide as it was hopping around my feet and sitting on the window sill



Just one Siskin coming to the feeders



The Pintail hybrid still at Keptie Pond in Arbroath, it's tame and comes to seed along with the Mallards. You might even be able to hand feed it!


You can just see a yellow leg in this photo


Pintail hybrid (mallard?) with possible mate, which also looks to be a hybrid?
