This was so far away I was not sure what I was taking a photo of. Only after downloading did I discover it was a Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius).

Also only discovered what these were the I got home. Two European goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis).

Photos taken while out on my lockdown walk.

They were all quite far so not the best photos.

We are only allowed out for 1 hour a day and we can go no further than 1 km radius from home. We also have to carry a dated and timed certificate with us. Fines are heavy if caught cheating!
