The Robin seemed to know that the Jay was totally preoccupied ... |
... craning his head this way ... |
... and that, in a very furtive manner. |
He turned around once more, perhaps to ensure that the Grey Squirrel was nowhere to be seen ... |
... before digging up the Squirrel's acorn ... |
... and swallowing it. |

And, of course, I can't be sure that this particular acorn had been buried by the squirrel!
That Jay is fabulous. I'm still waiting to catch one with the camera. I did get the elusive coal tit I've been waiting for today though!
ReplyDeletewhat lovely photos of the jay, I rarely see them,
