Summary

Conservation biologist Tolga Aktas remembers his first encounter with a jay, in a busy park in south London. Even though jays are widespread in the UK, they can be elusive, so to see such a colourful and exotic-looking bird in his humble park was a special moment. Autumn is a great time to look out for jays, when they're foraging for and burying acorns, to retrieve later in the winter.Presented by Tolga Aktas and produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in BristolThis programme features a recording from Xeno-Canto by Arjun Dutta (Eurasian Jay - XC915378)
