The Prankster

I'd just turned onto the lane and heard a buzzard really close by, mewing.  I looked up and heard it again but couldn't see anything.  I moved a few yards into the little car parking area to get a clear view of the sky.  There it was again but no sight of a circling bird.  I was starting to think it was so close it could well be in the tree top so I started scanning the trees.  Spotting a big brown bird high up, I lifted my camera to my eye thinking I'd found him.  And this is what I saw - a jay, merrily mimicking a buzzard from its perch. 

I had a lovely natter with a guy who lives nearby and he'd heard it too as he approached, assuming the same as me.  

A mile or so further on, it twigged - jays must be partial to an April Fool too!

(I've since discovered they're pretty good at it! Buzzard, cat and human (at 2m45s)!)
