| The Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla |
Because the Blackcap usually keep well concealed, they don't really stay long enough on the bird tale or feeders, for me to get really good shots of them, however I was pleased to get any shot at all, so here they are.Black cap distinguishes the male and reddish brown cap the female. Juvenile resembles the female.They breed in woods, parks and gardens.

Oh how I love warblers and their beautiful songs :)
I think the bird sings very nice!
Many greetings!
Awww.. Your photos are wonderful. I think that little guy is too cute.
He looks like he is singing a song to you.
Maybe they are quick, but nevertheless you have captured it. Great shots! Greetings, Joke

I agree with you Keith.Their rippling babble, and powerful Fluted notes are just beautiful.
Ian Moldavan
His song is beautiful and operatic as it has a melancholy ring towards the end.
It's probably singing feed me, feed me before I starve to death!!!
Linda R
Thank you Linda,.. he is pretty cute!!

Probably singing for his supper!!
They love the raisin and wallnut cake mix I make for them.

So nice to see you here Joke.
I have been trying to capture the Blackcap for simply ages, and have quite a few tail shots:) I was happy to get the full body shot at least.

Hi! Yes, a beautiful bird Ana! I just love the shape of their heads, and their song.
TexWisGirl
Yes indeed! He looks cute on the bird table, otherwise I think they have most elegant lines.
Adam
Hi Adam!
It's a lovely bird, and in the first picture does look cute.
Maria
Thank you Maria:)
I also love it's sooty black crown and slate grey to brown upper parts and pale grey underparts.
I will be there to see all your wonderful photos, very soon.It
has been a pleasure to see it's development.
Susan
Thank you Sue! I hope to get some better shots of the Blackcap in the spring, for you to see his true beauty, as these shots really don't do him justice.
In spite of the brief visit,you manage to shoot two very good shots. I'm amused by the way it cocked its head to eye the food proffered. I supposed they can never be too cautious.
You really do get some great birds coming to your feeder.......
Stiletto
Thank you for saying the shots are good! He was probably thinking...
What!! No raisins left!!:)
Stuart Price
It's very true Stuart. At least fifteen different species which are regular visiters.
A nice picture of the Blackcap.
Bob Bushell
Thank you Bob:) It's a nice bird.
Well I think they are lovely captures Sonjia. I always look forward to seeing them in my garden in the Winter. I was watching a male on the feeders just a couple of days ago. You do get such wonderful light in your photos...sigh! Raisin and Walnut cake sounds rather nice ;-)
ShySongbird
Thank you Jan:) We do seem to see many of the same birds in our gardens.
Although the cake does attract birds to the feeders,and they certainly make short work of it,I have often wondered if it's the best thing for them!!! There is also plenty of sunflower feed mix in other feeders and a corn mix that we scatter on the ground for the doves and wood pigeons,but they all seem to prefer the wallnut and raisin cake!!:)
Beautiful photographs informative.
Mary Brown

Thank you for your lovely comment:)
I had a look at your blog, and learnt about the two festivals. The Festival of Light seems like a brilliant celebration in more ways than one!!:)
Great shots! I love how his little beak is open.
Linda
It was a lucky shot! Many thanks for your visit:)
What a lucky girl you are. It's around my garden somewhere but I never had the chance to photograph it. Wonderful shot.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I have been after some captures of the Blackcap for a long time, so was pleased to get these two shots.
I hope you get your chance one day:)
Whoa!!! Nice catch! This is still on my list of "Must Finds!" Very cool captures. That's a beautiful warbler....although I don't think there is an ugly one out there:)
