Blackcap (1 Viewer)

Just saw my first Blackcap yesterday in my garden just south of Aberdeen on the coast - I know, not very exciting, but a first for me. Didn't really recognise it at first but then realised it was a female with the brown cap.
Took a pic with my phone but not good enough to post on here - my old Fuji camera gave up the ghost a few months ago and I need to get a new one (not too expensive).
Looking at the Nikon Coolpix B500 - should be good enough for me - not too complicated.
 
Just managed to get a few almost passable pics that people might be able to recognise.
Is it a female blackcap?

Yes, looks good for a female blackcap.

By the way: I found this threat only by accident, if you post ID questions in the Bird identification Q&A sub-forum more people will notice and answer
