Blackcap
Many weeks ago, amid the snows I noticed a new visitor to my garden bird feeders. At first it was extremely furtive and hardly ever broke cover so it took me a little while to figure out that it was a Blackcap. You may recall my picture of it peeking out from amongst the foliage. Now it seems to spend most of each day guzzling at the fat balls brazenly. It's only taken me this long to get a half decent picture of it because the light has been so terribly dingy and grey recently.

Apparently they're primarily a summer migrant but increasingly staying over the winter. This remains the only one I've ever seen.
