    Heard and spotted my first Jay this afternoon. Hope it's going to settle in the plantation across from me.

    If you only saw or heard it today, chances are it has been there for some time.

    Because they are shy woodland birds that keep well hidden and only call while on the move.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    strange that they're so shy, seeing that other birds in the crow family e.g. magpies and crows are so extrovert (for want of a better word)

    Hopefully I'll hear/ see some more of it over the next few weeks as it is being attracted to an oak plantation. Great year for acorns it appears.
