Unusual Behaviour?

Hi,
Had a great day today at Attenborough, watching three short ear owls hunting. They've been around for the past two weeks.
What I saw today though surprised me. One of the owls had a constant companion, a Jay. Everywhere the Owl went, the Jay followed! There was no agro, they were both at ease with each other. I've enclosed a couple of photos to show you. It was very dark, couldn't get any really good images.
Is this usual behaviour?
