Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) beside a rotting apple (Malus domestica). This bird is found throughout western Europe, northwest Africa and southeast and eastern Asia. It hoards acorns over the winter months and prefers woodland dominanted by oak. It will also feed on insects, fruits, young birds, mice, small reptiles and small snakes. The jay is a mimic, sounding like another species of bird in its call. Photographed in December, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.
