Male Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

The best Blackcap shot I have taken,albeit a thankyou to Steve Sheenan of the Cumbrian Birders FB group,who very kindly edited the twig which was just across the tip of the beak,There was a pr collecting nesting material in out local reserve,but only managed this one shot.Apparently another name for this bird is Northern Nightingale .
