    Hi Lads

    When driving across north cork last week, I spotted a bird on the side of the road , just a glimpse before it went into the ditch. The road in that area has lots of tall mature trees all long, its not a " normal" hedgerow.

    It was brown across the head and top of the wings, there was a white band across its back and on some of the wings and then a blue or navy band across the bottom of the wings and tail. It was about the size of a magpie but maybe less rounded, had a more elongated body shape…..never seen anything lie it before...I don't think I imagined it!

    Any ideas what it was?

    Could it have been a jay?
