What is the latest on our wintering Blackcaps? Are they continental birds from N and W or our breeders not going S? Not easy to photograph, so should be pleased with result.
I would imagine our garden wintering Blackcaps originate in Germany and Austria rather than the breeders not returning South. It is a short hop over from Europe and the warmer climate appeals as does having the pick of breeding sites.
