This year, for the first time I have had a Jay on my bird table, seen
it/them in the garden frequently but never on the table. I'm please to
say that I have seen thrushes in my garden this year for the first time.

Jays are beautiful but they're not nice birds - bit like magpies. Having
the thrushes might be why you've got the Jay, unfortunately. I've just seen
one this morning, driving through a wooded area where I know someone raises
pheasant chicks. ;-(
This site is interesting:
