Garrulus glandarius
Medium size corvid 30-35 cm long, easy to identify due to the striking blue colour in tertiary feathers together with a white rump that facilitates the identification in flight. It is a very noisy bird and I heard it before i could see it. It is very important for the expansion of oak forest due to its habit of hiding lots of acorns in the ground for the winter.
Open oak forest (Quercus pyrenaica). Reserva de la Biosfera del Real Sitio de San Ildefons-El Espinar.
