Jay - surprise




The worst photo first, of a first, a garden tick of a Jay, it didn't land though. I saw it fly past when I was observing my House Martin nest which wasn't showing much activity as I think the birds are still sitting on a clutch. Other photos from the past few days, in and around Arbroath. Just counted over 100 Starlings in my garden, that'll be the end of the food then!!

The Milimia Oystercatcher, nests on the pizza place roof each year, click here for video




Jay, at around 2100 hrs, and flying into town, perhaps nesting at the nearby cemetery?
