Title: Web link needed please.
Post by: rosebud on April 27, 2006, 16:48:44
I have today seen an amazing bird on my feeding station , i need a wild bird link to find out if it is what i think it is.

The size of a Magpie........dullish pink colour.............blue, black, and white colouring on the wings.  I think it could be a Jay, but i always thought they were the size of a bullfinch. Whatever it is i am pleased i saw it that is the second time it has been, my OH saw it yesterday.

That'll be a jay - bit smaller than a magpie and quite noisy when they want to be
