New visitor
This is a first for us. According to the RSPB identifier site, this is a female blackcap. I've seen it flitting around the tree for several days and not managed to blip it, mistaking it for a redpoll. The RSPB say it is usually a summer visitor from Germany and north east Europe but has recently started to over winter here - climate change again no doubt. It has the nickname of the Northern Nightingale for its 'delightful, fluting song'. I shall have to listen out for it.
It's the RSPB Gardenwatch next weekend, shall have to hope she returns.
