About the artwork
3rd prize at IGPOTY in the category Wildlife in the Garden
This Jay takes it from there; cooling off in the water on a hot day in the woods. He looks straight at you and his eyes are super sharp, with a beautiful bow of water droplets around him.
The jay is 32 to 35 cm long. The bird, which occurs in the Benelux, is predominantly grey brown with a pink tint. The throat, abdomen, anal area, rump and part of the hand are white. Characteristic are a broad black moustache stripe and a blue wing field consisting of light blue feathers with a fine black banding. The bird can raise its crown feathers when agitated, these are alternately light coloured with black.
The jay finds its food in trees and bushes, in the air and on the ground; it has a broad spectrum of animal and vegetable diets: insects and invertebrates, acorns, beechnuts, hazelnuts and other seeds and nuts, fruits such as blackberries, cherries, raspberries and rowan berries. Small or young songbirds and eggs are also part of the diet, as well as small rodents. With its strong beak, the jay cuts holes in hard shells such as snail shells, nut shells, and eggshells, and forages through soil, animal droppings, and human waste.
The German name for the jay (Eichelhäher) typifies the behavior. The scientific name Garrulus glandarius can be freely translated as perpetually scratching acorns.
