After some trial and error with the positioning, I finally managed to get some nice videos with the wildlife camera on my balcony. This jay seemed to have felt particulary talkative today - never heard one do these kinds of vocalizations.
Germany, July 2026
It is a young one, recently left the nest. It is calling for its parents to feed it.
Yep got their cousins trained to come and eat unsalted cashews, and since the chicks started to fly it is nonstop noise and I think to myself what the hell have I done to the balcony to my office.
