One of those strange occurrences when a Blue Jay opened its wings whilst puddling. Simon (Chan) and I encountered this strange behaviour in this Blue Jay at Sime Forest (near the Jelutong Tower). It was puddling, then suddenly flew up in a spiralling flight, and then dropped down and opened its wings flat. We thought it was drunk or dead, so after taking a few shots of it, we tried to pick it up, but it suddenly woke up and shot away at the usual Blue Jay speed. Dunno what it was up to, but we seldom see a Blue Jay with open wings like that...

Ha! No wonder Thomas won't let you go alone into the nature reserves. Too many "flashers" around.... :bsmile:

I poured beer on rotting banana bait before. Worked only for certain species of butts. ;-)
