Garden Watching - Male Blackcap

I am pleased to report that the Blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) are still around and making regular forays into our garden. So here are a few very recent snaps, again through the window, of Mr. Blackcap.

Unlike the females, the male is very wary around the feeders and is easily spooked.



Do you think he knows I'm inside?

Not sure how long this guy or the two females will hang around but it's great having his company.  FAB.

  1. ...he is a gorgeous bird. Very sleek looking, and I love the crazy eye he's giving you in that last photo. He looks a touched perturbed!
