@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Lovely shot. Here’s a thing… fewer than 50% of Sylvia atricapilla have black caps. Let’s change the name to Capped Warbler 😀
@PeterGray@mastodon.green I’m just seeing ones with black caps at present. Those 50% without them don’t live near me… 😂
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social We’ve had a male and a female visiting our garden in the east midlands this winter. Very lucky.
@PeterGray@mastodon.green I haven’t seen a female yet, but in the past few days I’ve seen upward of 20 males…
Its good you have them in your garden, one day, I hope to have something exotic visit our garden 😂
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social I wonder if there’s a tendency for males and females to winter in different areas to avoid competition? Over the years, we have seen more males than females.
