Gazing out of the kitchen window this morning, I was puzzled by a bird on the fat balls half way down the herbaceous border. Was it our resident Coal Tit? Same approximate size and shape but it just didn't seem right. So I grabbed the binoculars and - lo and behold - immediately identified it as a male Blackcap!
We haven't seen Blackcaps in the garden for several years so this was a lovely surprise. Obviously the recent cold weather has encouraged him into the garden attracted by the food we've put out for the birds. Let's hope he stays around for a while longer.
