Identification Help required if possible......

[Smudge]

I was out walking the local woods yesterday and found a feather, I know it's not much to go on but it's such a pretty little thing. I've been trying to find out what bird it belongs too purely out of curiosity, any help would be very much appreciated.

Sorry, no idea, but it is beautiful and I can well see why you picked it up and wondered

Deffinately a jay. I have a stuffed one on the wall in the other room. Don't see many 'round here but always a joy to watch.
We're just getting magpies trying to move into the village in the last year or two though they're being kept at bay. I like corvids but not always great news for other birds in the area.
As said will look lovely in your hat.

Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.

I found one a couple of days ago as well in my local woods, initially I hoped it was from a kingfisher but fairly sure it was Jay so this confirms it for me

I'm not brilliant at bird identification but my first thought (before I scrolled down) was Jay, nice to see that pretty much everyone else thought the same thing.

Mebbe I'm not as bad at this as I thought.

Jay, without question. Beautiful birds, but shy are difficult to see. When you do you see what gorgeous things they are with their blue and pink feathers.

Honestly I'm awful with bird I.D I usually only want to know if its worth eating or not

Thanks for the help guys, very much appreciated :You_Rock_
