Spent a lot of the time today looking through the window at the birds in the garden.It was just to darn cold to venture far outside.
Saw both Blackcaps first thing this morning,but the female hasn`t shown since.The male spent a lot of time on the apples and several times was seen visiting the the pond.We still have between 4-6 Reed Buntings around the feeders.

Just heard from the B T O,about my Czech controlled Blackcap.It was ringed at Chotec 49`59N  14`17E on the 9th September 2011 and was only the third record of a Czech ringed Blackcap in the UK or Ireland.A full report can be seen on the B T O Bird Ringing `Demog Blog`.
