I have just found a baby oak tree in the garden, We have several large
trees, but no Oaks. It is about a foot tall and I realise I will have
to move it but not yet maybe :-)

Do you get jays in the garden? I've no oak tree but every spring we get
several oak seedlings popping up. One or two have turned up in the hedge
but others I've have to remove.

Something brings the acorns in and the culprits are jays, I believe.
This time of year I often see these birds poking around at the bottom
end of the garden, busily planting their hoard. Squirrels seem to be
more into eating or stashing away our hazelnuts before we have a chance
to get any.
