New Year Tick for the Garden

I was thrilled to see a female blackcap in the garden this morning - the first time I have seen the species in the garden this year.

She spent several minutes foraging around the pyracantha so perhaps there are a few berries left after all.

    Well done, Caroline. Blackcap`s a species i always want too see in the garden, during the winter months.

    Thanks Dean.

    I am just hoping that the bird stays around for the winter and isn't just passing through. If I get more sightings I will try and take a photo - wrong lens on camera yesterday!
