Calling all ornithologists
I tried finding this on google, briefly, but couldn't see what it was - anyone know what species it is? It wasn't afraid of me when I was out exploring the woods so I think I might go back with a telephoto lens to get better shots of it in future.

And excuse the quality but it's a mega crop from a shot taken with my 100mm macro lens, not exactly bird hunting equipment!

Not sure if there are any bird enthusiasts in the club. I would suggest trying a dedicated bird identification forum instead - there are several around, and these two both look very active:

It looks like a Jay to me ?

It is, thank you - with that name I had a target to lookup and wikipedia and it matches what I saw.

You're welcome ! I'm not a bird expert by any means, but we do get Jays visiting our garden quite regularly.
