Very nice Iain ...what lens?

Jays seem to be able to spot peanuts from miles away. I put a scoopful periodically in the bird house and within minutes a Jay will have swooped in, swallowed a dozen and flown away. Back again and again.

What amazes me is how they register the presence of peanuts that have been added to a normally empty bird house. Do they they have a photographic memory that can be recalled to compare with current situation? A sort of spot the difference test? Interestingly, if I put kibbled peanut in the house, they don't come!! Obviously want whole red peanuts,o.O
