Female Blackcap in the garden for the last 3 months - very unusual here, first ever in the garden. On her own though. Lovely to see.
Never seen a Blackcap, in Glasgow or East Kilbride. Very nice spot :t:

Me neither until recently. When I was a kid it was all house sparrows. Now I get a stunning range in my garden: Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Great Tit, LTT, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Dunnock, Siskin, Chaffinch, Jackdaw, Rook, Reed Bunting, Robin, Blackbird, Magpie, Crow, Starling, Wood Pigeon, Wren, Sprawk every so often, and now Blackcap. And lots of house sparrows. And Roe Deer at night in the front garden. Glasgow has changed...
Rare visitors (mostly winter) include Waxwing, Goldcrest, Redwing, Songthrush, and even once for a few days a female pheasant. Had Bullfinches on 2 separate occasions in all the years since I got into birding, and adored them.
Keeps me going through this isolation.
Stay safe all.
Stock Dove still singing away in the garden this morning.
Nice :t:
Pretty average fare in the garden at the moment, probably a little quieter with all the neighbours in lockdown utilising their gardens and with the good weather it is a bit noisier than usual.
Pair of Bullfinch only come in the evenings at the moment as does the Wren. Greenfinch too nervous to come down to the feeders so don't show up for long periods, ditto Goldfinch. Everything else going about is business as usual, Coal, Great, Blue and the occasional Long Tailed Tits. Robin thanking me everyday with the gardening and producing worms as it follows the spade and trowel around the borders.....
Saw a lovely male Blackcap on my 30 minute exercise yesterday.
Keep safe and well everyone
Male Bullfinch back in the garden.
