I bet you are both thrilled :-) <br /><br />It has been the first week in January that we have seen Blackcaps pass through our garden - although not every year. It has been a few years now since we've seen them - although that doesn't mean they haven't been of course.<br /><br />It was suggested to me by a bird group after our first blackcap sighting back in 2007 that they were likely to be en route from Scandinavia to Germany. It was a hanging fatcake that caught their attention at my feeders and when there was heavy snow one year - apples on the ground.<br /><br />An interesting observation for you to look out for if your new visitor stays a few days/a week - I noticed that only very occasionally did the male and female feed in the garden at the same time. They seem to be fairly solitary in any garden sightings we have had. The male is a bit of a bossy boots too if you get one visiting - he chased off a lot of the regulars at the feeders. Lovely to see him though :-)<br /><br />Fingers crossed you get more garden sightings and the chance for more photos and video too :-DShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-32121379443013419192014-01-16T19:11:53.870+00:002014-01-16T19:11:53.870+00:00How lovely to have a new visitor.
