It was again a cool, but sunny walk home through migrant alley and apart from around 40 ROOKS, in the sheep pasture, it was quiet. In the garden, the usual suspects showed, except the wren - however a smart, male BLACKCAP was seen, a good species to find in December! I have recorded blackcaps in every month this year, on my patch, except November.

Great to hear about the Blackcap Warren. I wonder if it is a wintering UK bird or one that has come here from the continent. There is a moevment of Blackcap from Germany to UK in hard weather...

Steve, I would say it was an arrival from the continent. The wind is certainly coming from there at the moment
