Today was a glorious autumn day so I took myself to Forest Farm Nature Reserve for a long walk. I popped in to the hide to see what birds were around but it was very quiet.
Apart from a couple of Moorhens in the pond, the only feathered creatures I saw were these, a Jackdaw and a Jay that had been enticed down on to the grass in front of the hide by the peanuts another birder had thrown out for them.

Do you get many Jays there? We saw our first Jay here in the 12 years we’ve been here (though there were loads in London).
I love moorhens, such ungainly birds, but amusing. 🙂

Hi Val. Yes, I see Jays regularly in the parks and nature reserves in and around Cardiff. They’re particularly visible now, as they focus on hunting out acorns for their winter stash.

They might have been few but they are still beautiful. Such marvellous creatures.
