BLACKCAP (f) // SYLVIA ATRICAPILLA (14cm)

A well marked and distinctive warbler, the sexes are dissimilar with the male with a black cap, and the female seen above with a chestnut cap, note also the pale eye ring. ONE of the few birds where I think the female is better looking than the male.

Seen at Strumpshaw Fen, my sincere thanks to the T.V personaltity, Naturalist Photographer, Elizabeth Dack, for all her help. This was a long weekend with family, on the Norfolk Broads, but had to slip away with my camera early, hope I was not missed....lol.

===================================================

THANK YOU for your visit and comment, will try to catch up with your lastest image very soon. Hope the Bank holiday weekend went well, 30c in most southern UK spots.

Stay well and safe, God bless you !..................................Tomx.
