Little Black Top (Sylvia atricapilla)

Well folks,
You dont know how pleased I am to see this little bird in our garden. We only have a very small area to garden, as we are surrounded by roads on two sides, adjoined to a house on another, and live in quite a built up area. I see this little un out there a couple of times on tuesday, and once being harassed by the local Robin, so thought I had missed any chance of getting it in front of the lens. I put a load of stuff on the feeders yesterday, went inside, and on it popped straight away. I nipped upstairs to the back bedroom window, and Walluh!!! Sorry about it being a feeder shot, but I am just so very chuffed at getting this little bird in our garden.
