I have been really enjoying watching the birds on my feeders at the end of my back garden through the kitchen window. They are really popular with the long tailed tits and robins particularly and the wood pigeons are always roaming beneath to scavenge what falls. The last couple of days I've noticed a new regular visitor of greyish brown bird that I couldn't make out what it was. Dug the bins out today to look properly. It has a really pretty bronze head cap. It took me a fair while googling to figure out that it is a female blackcap. I think the female is much prettier than the male in this case which is quite unusual. She is also much more confident than the other visitors as she will stay in one spot or keep feeding for a long time compared to the tits and robins that can't seem to stay in one spot longer that a couple of seconds!
It feels nice to be continuing to build my knowledge about birds even if it's very common stuff from the comfort of my own home.
