Watford - 15.2.14

Every now and then my mum would let me know that she had been having a male Blackcap visiting her garden and then asking "have you seen one yet this year"? But today as I was round there I stood by the kitchen window and waited. I didn't have to wait too long as suddenly there at the base of the bird bath was the male Blackcap. It fed on the spilt seed from the feeders but flew up into the shrubs in next doors gardens to join a second male! My mum hadn't seen two together so I sort of got my own back! The record count for her garden is 4 (3 male + 1 female) but that was a few years ago now.
