Eurasian Jay
Garrulus glandarius
An adult woodland corvid common in broadleaf and mixed forests, also visiting parks and large gardens. It eats acorns, seeds, fruit, insects, eggs, and small animals, often caching acorns in the ground for later. It is alert and noisy, giving harsh alarm calls and mobbing threats near nesting areas. A notable fact is that its acorn caching helps oaks spread when forgotten stores germinate.
