Eurasian Jay

The Eurasian Jay, scientifically known as Garrulus glandarius, is a striking member of the crow family (Corvidae) renowned for its intelligence and vibrant plumage. Found across a vast range from Western Europe to Eastern Asia, this highly adaptable omnivore is best known for its habit of caching acorns and other nuts, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal. Despite its bright colors, it often remains elusive, preferring the cover of dense woodlands.
