A beautiful male blackcap.

Another from amongst the Elderberries this morning. This might be another juvenile, I've not made my mind up yet.

Skulking in bushes

I've got so many different birds to upload, that I'm getting a bit lost. I've not counted yet, but I must have decent pics of over 30 species from the Reservoirs since yesterday . Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I don't have a juvenile or female Blackcap in my gallery, so I'll add this one. Poor...

Seen this one juve during a walk in the woods a few days ago.

Another pic of the Blackcap from yesterday singing high up a tree.

Went for a walk through the woods yesterday, several of these singing away, but still couldn't catch one out in the open.

Just a quick upload from this morning at the Reservoirs, as it's a first for my gallery. Not the first I've seen, but the first non-blurry picture that I've got. The bird was high up a tree, and I had to use the TCON17, so 760mm zoom hand-held. Back a bit later when I've sorted though the 643...

Went for a walk through the small wood behind the church yesterday, it was great to hear all the birdsong. Lots of these singing away, but I couldn't get one to come out in the open.

A Blackcap eagerly making its presence known to the world. Ron

Alot of Black caps around yesterday singing away. See Kim I really was at Pennington yesterday ;)

Hard at work in the sunshine!

.....and Mr BC. These 2 are a pair and I watched them for an hour or so flitting around the woods in quite a predictable way, looking for nest sites I presume.
