Blackcap

I made a short mid-afternoon visit to the Watton Brook Valley, hopefully with the intention of finding Whinchat, and other migrants, although none were seen I did locate both Blackcap and Whitethroat at a traditional site in the valley.
The Whitethroat, a male, occasionally sang and gave its alarm call which was probably directed at me.  In the same Briar patch, a male Blackcap briefly visited and gave its repeated "tek" agitation call.   The following are pictures of that Blackcap.
