Blackcap Survey

Garden Blackcap Survey: Jan 2013
Blackcaps are becoming increasingly regular visitors to garden feeding stations during winter, their numbers having risen remarkably since the 1970s. Our garden offerings seem to be supporting a change in the migratory behaviour of those Blackcaps that breed in central Europe and traditionally wintered around the Mediterranean. If you spot a Blackcap in your garden during January 2013, please let us know what it's eating, if it's male or female and whether it's chasing off other birds.

    I wish - though did spot a couple just up the road the other morning. Need to work out how to bribe them in!
