The Blackcap (sylvia atricapilla)
Managed to get a couple of hours on the reserve yesterday when the rain stopped and the sun tried to shine. !! Caught this little beastie enjoying the pause in the rain as much as me.Quickly heard his tremendous song but took ages to get a brief glimpse of him. V2 is a shot of him practising his doh-ray-me scales.GrinGrin
Hope you will enjoy.
Enormous thanks, as ever, for the super response to the Reed bunting.
Ron

A couple of fine shots, Ron.
I lack a Blackcap in my PF, so I'm envious of these two shots. Sad
