Never seen one before I moved here. Supposed to be shy woodland birds, hard to spot in flight. Apart from when they swoop in to get nuts from city centre rehab windowsills, or sit preening in nearby cherry trees waiting for some more to be served.

Is there an Oak in the vicinity? Jays are particularly fond of acorns so that might explain their presence. They'll build up a store of the things to keep them going through the winter.

We do see them from time to time here and several years ago we had three visit the garden frequently to feed on the crushed peanuts we left out.
