We have a pair of jays busying themselves in the garden. They’re enjoying the easy meal of fat balls in the feeders, but are also retrieving acorns that they’d buried in the lawn a few months ago. They must have good memories. Fascinating to watch.

Photo of an Eurasian jay, with its distinctive blue shoulder patch, hopping about on a leaf-scattered grass lawn. It has its head tilted to one side and is peering intently at the ground, having moved a few leaves around.
Slightly blurred photo of same jay a few moments later. It has turned slightly away from the camera and is now grasping a brown acorn in its stout black bill. A few seconds before it had drilled into the lawn to pull the acorn out of its hiding place.
