I put out some bird seed and peanuts on the feeding tray which soon attracted the usual species; dunnock, robins, blue tit, great tit, coal tit, marsh tit, nuthatch and blackbirds. I spotted a tree creeper moving quickly up a nearby tree, and as I hoped, a couple of jays were soon attracted by the peanuts but stayed high in the branches. With a bit more time, (and peanuts) I think they might have ventured down. However, they were in competition with three squirrels who were keen to get their share first.
Next time I think I will need a greater supply of peanuts to allow enough for both jays and squirrels!
