It&#39;s been skirting the garden for the past 20 minutes, and I&#39;ve caught glimpses of him (I suspect a male). No doubt now I&#39;m inside, he&#39;ll be in the garden. The trail cam is glowing. I&#39;ll have the evidence tomorrow. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>But this is about jays, the most colourful of the corvids. I spotted this exceptionally bold example of the species in London at lunchtime. The shots were taken in deep shade with shutter speeds varying between 1\/30 to about 1\/250s. The first shot was actually taken at 1\/25s.
