Can anyone identify this bird

Keeps coming into the garden, have tried the RSPB bird finder with no luck

Thanks

sigma 150-600 at 600 and a real grab shot at 4000asa

Yes, it's a Jay

P.S. Woodland birds and not usually garden visitors, so good grab, difficult to get a good photo of one.

Many thanks indeed appreciated both

THAT is MUCH better than the RSPB, thanks for the link

It is at a slightly odd, but more interesting, angle that the normal side view illustrations which appear in most books.

I occasionally get a Jay paying a quick visit to my garden but the resident crows soon drive them away. They won't tolerate Magpies or Jackdaws anywhere close to 'their garden' either.
