I am not too sure it was a Jay , but that's what I took it to be. They are bigger birds than that but it might have been a young one. There's less blue on the adults, we get them sometimes in the garden
I don't think it was a jay. The jays I get in my garden look nothing like that! I wonder if it was an American blue-jay?
That's exactly what it is.
We have jays here too. They are blue(ish) but not like US or UK jays.
