10th March : Blackcap.

Although Blackcaps spend the Summer in our garden, they are rarely seen during the Winter months. Today's visitor being only the 3rd here in 21 years, they've all been males including this one, but surprisingly after 90 minutes a female joined him with them both feeding on sunflower hearts throughout the day. As I type this the male is still with us, but no sign of the female.
