Black haired spirit of the wood.
There were plenty of blackcaps singing during that visit. Unfortunately they tended to stay in the shadows. I like its scientific name. Sylvia means "spirit of the wood" and atricapilla means "black haired".

Pricey! I need two pairs of specs, one general purpose multifocals and the other reading glasses. With the large prism I can't get their usual BOGOF offer.
