Photo of flower pot with red houseleek and some grass coming out between the remnants of the Edelweiss that died a few months ago and a fresh hole with a single acorn in it.

Yes, other species of Jays would also be capable of doing this.

Thinking about it more, the EU has another more probable species: Woodpeckers.

When I lived in Spain, there were half a dozen woodpeckers who would eat acorns. I have zero doubt that a woodpecker would do this.
