Spot on. Hearing the same quarrelsome squawking this afternoon, I was
just in time to see an altercation between a jay and a magpie. Only the
second time I've seen a jay in the garden so I was quite excited



We've got a family of five in our garden and to be honest I really don't
like them, they are bullies on the bird feeders and harass the smaller
birds. They also seem to go after the nests because in the spring you
got a lot of bird alarms and out of the bushes would fly one or other of
the Jay family.
Still whilst they are squabbling with the starlings and pigeons they
leave the others alone
