Jays eating peanuts in the sleet

On 26 April 2016 there was a shower of sleet in London. I had put out some peanuts for the squirrels and when I looked to watch the sleet, I noticed 2 jays were eating the peanuts. Jays are members of the crow family. They are quite attractive birds, with blue wing flashes and a conspicuous white rump. They are the most colourful of the crow family.

The jay is a woodland species and feeds mainly on acorns, nuts, seeds and insects, but also eats nestlings of other birds and small mammals.They  have a screeching call.
