The Jay is a colourful member of the crow family, with brilliant blue wing patches. It is mainly pinkish-buff, with a black tail, white rump, black 'moustache', and black-and-white wings that sport the eye-catching brilliant blue patch, even on a grey drizzly day like today. The bird is perched in a leafkess tree amid brown branches and twigs.
