There are lots and I mean lots of Jays locally collecting food from the rich source of Acorns available.
Although you can only see one Acorn, this Jay probably has a few inside its gullet too. Ever wondered why an Oak tree starts to grown in a strange place where there are no Oak trees close by? It probably came from a “cached” Acorn that was forgotten about.
All day today the light was beautiful, until I decided to go out to one of the local nature reserves and it went very overcast and almost dark.
I was determined to get something though, there were Grey Squirrels everywhere and I managed to get a shot of this little guy foraging around. It’s not super sharp as it was tough to try and freeze him running around with only 1/125sec shutter speed but (for me anyway) it’s a keeper as I like the framing the ferns gave the photo.
On the way back to the car, I was getting blitzed by discarded Acorn shells as I walked through the forest!
