Eurasian jay - Garrulus glandarius
One day we noticed through the window of our apartment some movement down in the leaves of the tilia (I guess Tilia cordata). I took my zoom and saw a couple of chicks huddled together. Eurasian Jay chicks.
So I took a cup of coffee, set down comfortably and waited. In a while the chicks started moving, spreading wings and calling their mom. And here she was. It was real fun watching through the bunch of twigs and leaves how the mom is feeding all the four chicks, one after the other.
The Eurasian Jay is a species of bird occurring over a vast region from Western Europe and north-west Africa to the Indian Subcontinent and further to the eastern seaboard of Asia and down into south-east Asia. Across its vast range, several very distinct racial forms have evolved to look very different from each other, especially when forms at the extremes of its range are compared.
