These birds are actually pretty common but this is the first time I managed to get a decent shot of a Eurasian Jay.

Beautiful, but soooo noisy they are! We have a couple of them near our home, they always seem so unpleased screaming loudly at us

noisy little buggers, aren't they? used to be my alarm clock on many a seaside trip. great contrast with the snow, too bad the alder's catkins aren't red yet though.
