It's always nice when something new turns up in the garden and this winter has now produced it's third – a male Blackcap. It is one of really only two warblers that sometimes stick around for the UK winter, along with Chiffchaffs. Not many forego their return journey south to Africa but those that do often tend to find the shelter and food that gardens provide. 
As you can see from the pictures, this one has taken a fancy to our Mahonia bush, just outside our patio doors. It would appear to be feeding on nectar from the yellow flowers which are one of few plants flowering at this time of year.
I have never saw my Blackcap as closely :rolleyes: very …. beautifulI like their songs and they nest near the house in thorny shrub
You are right catse, they have a nice song in Spring. I wonder if it will return in the cold weather this winter?
I never seen them in the winter but your countries is less cold than mine … I will look this winter
Yes, and only here recently, due to climate change possibly. We have Little Egrets breeding in the South which we never had till the last decade.
it seems than Little Egrets are present in france but now Blackcap are go away and red throat are here
