About 3 years ago I saw a male Blackcao here, nothing since.
Till today when I saw a male blackcap just outside the window when I
was on the phone, then about 2 hours later even closer (But still just
outside the window) there was a femalew with a beak full of either
insects or nest lining material, so with luck I'll be seeing a lot
more of them in the comming weeks.
David @ the wet but sunny end of Swansea Bay, just 0.75 inches of rain
last night.

A blackcap has been singing his lovely song in my garden since 1st May. I
haven't actually seen him though. I get them every year so I assume they
breed somewhere in my garden, but they don't seem to overwinter here like
they do in some places in the UK.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with the song you can hear it he
