Jay

Garrulus Glandarius

The Jay is the most colourful member of the crow family. They are a shy bird and shy away from humans, in fact they are often difficult to see as they dislike moving away from woodland and cover. Once the Jay has mated it remains with its mate for life. Jays are very partial to acorns and tend to hide them away.
