Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) Photo: © www.arthurgrosset.com The Blackcap breeds throughout most of Europe and into North Africa and western Siberia. During the winter birds from the north and east of Europe move south, many as far as sub-Saharan Africa. Some continental birds, however, winter in Britain and these photos were taken in Edinburgh during the winter. © http://www.ecosystema.ru/ It breeds in woodland but requires shrubby undergrowth for nesting. It feeds on insects during the breeding season when it picks its
prey off leaves and twigs in the tree canopy. At other times it
feeds on fruit and seeds. The birds that overwinter in my garden
eat sunflower seed |
