Simon the Blackcap

Eurasian Blackcaps are characterful birds with a delightful song

The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK.

Simon is a Blackcap that visits my garden each winter, you can see him below. The RSPB is a great charity that can tell you more about Blackcaps.
