Eurasian Jay

Garrulus glandarius

Description:

Saw the bird flying from tree to tree till he found the right one to take a "bath". After the bath he looked a bit dearanged...

Habitat:

It's 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. A member of the widespread jay group, and about the size of the Jackdaw, it inhabits mixed woodland, particularly with oaks, and is an habitual acorn hoarder. In recent years, the bird has begun to migrate into urban areas, possibly as a result of continued erosion of its woodland habitat. (Wikipedia)
