    Default First winter Blackcap seen in the Amelanchier

    Looked out of the window this morning and spotted my first winter Blackcap in the Amelanchier, hope he stays around, got the bananas at the ready and the Mahonia is in full flower to tempt him.

    You're just telling us that to tease me, Rolf!

    Yeah, yeah! Where are the photos then? Where was your camera?

    LOL, it was quite close Catherine, but by the time I fired it up, the little devil had gone.

    @Louise, yes does sound a little odd.

    Yes, 'got the bananas ready' makes me think of John Wayne with two revolvers!

    I still think you'd be better getting your camera ready, Rolf....

    It's always ready Catherine, but some of these birds are a bit nippy.

    Had 9 Goldies on the feeders this morning.
