Its been a wonderful week away. Nothing like your adventure to Alaska, but pretty cool nonetheless
Ah thats cool, there will be a chance to see some new wildlife at least in Germany.
Jays will be most likely seen in mixed deciduous woodland, and September is as good a time to see them as any, they will bu caching Acorns for the Winter (like squirrels do). A lot of patience and a bit off luck, and who knows what you'll find! :-)
I'll also get to meet my friend's crow friend Trouble. He's brazen and greedy and fantastic. Hopefully he'll pose for a few portraits.
