blackcap

i spent a wonderful day at Terry NWs yesterday, spoilt rotten by his wife Rita again. wonderful show of birds including this beautiful Male BCap. Cheers my friend.

My wife & I had a super time at my Brother & sister in-laws place down in Devon, plenty of birds visit their small bird friendly garden, this female blackcap popped down onto the lawn for a few moments, so I took the opportunity of getting some shots.

Another image from Rita & Terry's & good to get one of this female Blackcap.

This female seemed to be sunning herself in a sunlit gap through some branches. She almost looks to be nodding off!

This feisty little lady has been fighting hard all day to assert her rights at the garden feeders!

Another beauty from Terry NWs garden, a first in one way for me as the last one I got was about eight years ago on film. Thank you all for the wonderful Marsh Tit comments always appreciated in fact thank you for a great year on BF, Cheers Ken.

We had 2 of these in the garden sharing the berries with the waxwings.

Just after taking these a sparrowhawk tried his luck but fortunately missed as the blackcap took a hurried leap through the fence.

Now lets fuel up!

Another rare visitor to the garden again through the window.

Well Peeps, Went to Ally Park yesterday, had a good old three mile plus walk around, feel well knackered this morning, backs aching like a good un. I was surprised at the lack of birds, but I did see a few, but not too many pics. Another shot of the female Cappy, from our...
