Hide and Seek! (Sylvia atricapilla)

A pleasant surprise this morning to see the male Blackcap back again. It seems to pop in once a week - at least we only see it about once per week ;) Today it was checking out the Mahonia charity. Blue Tits seem to like the yellow flowers as well.
Location
Back garden, Billingham, Cleveland. UK
Date taken
9th December 2008
Scientific name
Sylvia atricapilla
Equipment used
Canon 40D+Canon 400mm f5,6
WOW, stunning flowery setting, Ian, and amazing work done to focus so sharply the bird among the loads of tiny flowers!!! :eek!: Gorgeous and surprising!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
 
Super shot Ian, They are lovely shrubs
and a good source of food in midwinter
I noticed a Bumblebee on ours today!
 
What a brilliantly detailed image of this marvelous bird! A gorgeous image with the mahonia blossoms!
 
Perhaps he thinks its the post office, and hes coming to draw his weekly pension Ian, another lovely shot mate.
