As Jay at war with owl

Exactly a year ago, not far from my house, I noticed in a number of very old limes some loud confusion. I approached carefully and saw a jig flying around a large hollow in the lime and loudly calling out. When I crossed the other side, I saw an owl in the hollow. At first it seemed that she was slipping her eyes shut. Then after a few attacks of the jay, the owl slightly hid deeper and only part of the head was visible. Jay has not been quiet for a long time. Finally, the owl hid completely in the hollow and the jay waited a little and flew away. There was a problem shooting because of the scorching light and jerky motion of the jay from place to place.

the fun event

    Outside my window are three oaks. In autumn jays arrive here on acorns. In the morning I noticed a jay on a nearby old apple trees and a young neighbor's cat stalking her. Bird did not run away, but approached the cat. Then jump to the neighboring branch and the cat went down to the trunk and walked into the branch. This is repeated. I went to get the camera and photographed from the balcony. Jay still clearly play with the cat, allowing him to approach quite close. Cat abandoned after about 15 minutes.
