#lockdown #gardensafari – pair of jays
Pair of jays sampling everything on offer on garden bird feeders (fat balls were dish of the day) and lots of drinks from bird bath.
In the past have paid occasional, irregular flying visits. This time at least five minutes sampling everything on offer having a good snack, then flew off to explore other nearby gardens.
