Blackcap Reappears

As yesterday's post suggested, we were becoming a little concerned about our female blackcap whom we hadn't seen for some days, but she reappeared at lunchtime today feeding not on the sultanas which we'd bought specially for her but the peanuts, where she has to compete with chaffinches, great tits, sparrows and sundry others.

She looked wet, bedraggled and not a happy bunny. This west coast weather, with its gales and rain, is obviously not suiting her.
