blackcap in spring

[turlough]

Warblers are almost impossible to see and even more impossible to photograph, but this afternoon I managed to not only spot, but also to take a couple of photos of, a male Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) high up in a birch.

Congrats on nabbing one! It is very difficult to get bird pics with camera phones, I've rarely ever managed it.

Thank you! I was lucky I had my real camera with me that day. My phone would never have managed to zoom in that far up.

We had a garden warbler in on our feeders yesterday but no chance of a pic so well done for getting one! :)

Thank you! This is the first time I've ever managed to photograph any warbler so I felt very proud of myself :-)

Great shot! Thanks for sharing him with us.

Thank you! I wish I could have shared his song too, it's wonderfully varied and melodic.
