An unexpected garden visitor yesterday was this male Blackcap. It's been about 12 months since the previous visit...could it be the same individual? FAB.
...a year later. He is a sweetie. I need to look him up. He vaguely resembles our Black-capped Chickadees, but doesn't appear to be in the same family (different-shaped bill).
Yes Kelly, he may look similar but totally different families. Chickadee is Paridae whereas Blackcap is Sylviidae. I will e-mail some links shortly so you can do some homework.
I am convinced it's the same little blackcap coming back....he did remember the garden...!
ReplyDeletejust so beautiful..!
have a great weekend!
ciao elvira
Elvira. If he could speak to me then I would know for certain.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good weekend as well.
Ciao FAB.
I think it probably is the same male....we all remember when we were well off.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Frank
Cheers Trevor. I can hear someone else not too far away saying exactly the same to me!
