Spotted
The Siberian Jay is a hardy, medium-sized corvid found across the boreal forests of Northern Europe and Asia. Known for its soft, fluffy plumage and remarkably tame nature, it is a resident bird of coniferous and mixed forests. It is an omnivorous species, often seen hoarding food.
Where to spot
Widespread across the boreal forests (taiga) of Northern Europe and Asia, from Scandinavia and Russia eastward to Siberia. Prefers coniferous and mixed forests, particularly mature stands.
How to spot
Look for this relatively small, fluffy jay in coniferous forests. Its soft grey-brown and rufous plumage, with a darker cap, is distinctive. They are often unafraid of humans, making close observation possible. Listen for their soft, varied calls and whistles.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Most active during daylight hours, but its approachable nature makes it observable any time it's active.
