Can anyone identify this bird for me please (the one in the front). It was with the starlings today. In Pembrokeshire. Thank you

Looks very much like a Jay to me...

In reply to Kath10:

We have Jays that visit, this was different to those. Sorry, it’s a bad photo. Thank you for your help.

I'm opting for a Starling, probably a young one, or just one with an unusual colour.

Thank you. I had initially presumed it was a starling as it seemed part of the flock. It did not have any speckles or any of the usual iridescent looking feathers.

No problem, I got it completely wrong as you can tell im no expert....

I saw a Jay in my area the other day and have never seen one before, what beautiful birds they are so think I'm obsessed now with them...

In reply to Kath10:

They are beautiful birds. We are very lucky and have one that visits every year - it brings its young with it.

Thank you ! The more I look at it, the more I think it looks like a rosy starling
