Sidelever Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Arrived at a permission early with the thermometer showing -4. Wrapped up well and waited in the old wood shed by the pond next 2 old oak trees. Now I had heard the jays before but seldom seen them,certainly never within airgun range. So I was chuffed when over a few hours I bagged 3 and a squirrel looking for acorns. All shot with an Air Arms S410 .177 fitted with a Twink silencer and Hawke scope. Ranges from 25 to 34 yards.

Walker570 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Put me right. Do we get the continental jays over here in the winter or summer? I've noticed a few more about as well. I have a magpie and jay set up in a case which I shot right and left many moons ago and David Kenningale who did the work said the jay was an incomer from the continent. Slightly different colouring if I remember. Have a plan similar for day break tomorrow after this heavy 48hrs of rain and had a jay on the trail cam along with maggies and tree rats during the previous week. Great ..very succesful.
