| Female Blackcap |
It is that time again now when we get to hear the lovely song of the Blackcap.
That said, it can be quite frustrating to hear the male singing away in the middle of a Blackthorn tree which is adorned with flowers, but unable to locate it.
Although predominantly a Summer migrant to UK many Blackcaps overwinter in the Southern part of the Country. One study showed that a one Blackcap spent the Winter in Southern England and Summer in France.

I was fortunate to observe and photograph this male and female in the same tree on the edge of the Lodmoor Reserve, Weymouth.
Voi, miten kauniit valokuvat!
ReplyDeleteKiitos paljon Anne ystävällisistä sanoistasi.
