Florida Scrub-Jay 5 approx. seen as we pulled into the carpark! One perched on a fencepost around the small garden at the centre of the carpark. When the car was parked I jumped out to get a closer look with my camera but the main bird had flown off taking the others which I glimpsed at the top of a large tree, before they all disappeared. Unfortunately they did not reappear & despite walking aroung what seemed like the whole of the small reserve we could not relocate them. Nevertheless the quick view was enough to identify the main species I had hoped to see - life-tick.
