ugly

they seem so tame

Hahaa, looks like a very special performance! Great capture :D

Jay birds ( Garrulus glandarius)?

thank you all for your kind comments! :)

these are through-the-window shots, there were about 10 of those little fellows directly in front and above my window for about three minutes and, well, i really wouldn´t call it "singing" what they did, it sounded more like a heavy debate about the next direction to go... ;D

yes richy, i´m pretty sure these are jay birds and i´ve never seen so many of them all at once before. in fact, i wasn´t sure to trust my eyes (and ears..). :D

Lucky you are, ugly. Thanks for sharing your nice story.

Great!

thank you a lot for your nice comments! :))

Cool :)

mhh i´m not sure i understand what u mean with autochthonous. but maybe i can answer your question in telling that they normally don´t live in coveys (crowds) and that they are very very shy. i think at the time of the photo they were on their way back from their winters´ quarters somewhere south of here and took a little rest in front of my window.. :)
