Garden Jays

I have been photographing these Jays for the past 4 or 5 years in the garden but this is the first time for about a year. I believe that this is the same female Jay from 5 years ago as she appears less frightened than the male and her markings seem the same. I have no idea how long they live for but they usually raise 1 or 2 young who also visit. I messed up on the camera settings this morning and all the images were captured in basic JPEG therefore I have tried to be creative and have produced a couple 0f black and white images here which seem to work fairly well.
