Its funny you mention jays!! We were talking about the increase in numbers on two of the permissions we frequent. I run larsens on both farms for magpies and in past years we have taken good numbers.

This year the magpies are very few and far between but have been replaced by plenty of jays (not in the cages though).

I dont mind seeing the odd jay about it makes a diference as some places we go dont have any, but needless to say thier time will come. Noisey little feckers when you get a few squabling.

Looking forward to a good clear moonlit night amongst the trees.

Nice shooting matey and happy hunting
