Blackcap

Blackcaps favour woodland habitats, but will venture into parks and gardens if there are lots of trees and shrubs available. They occur throughout the UK, with the exception of the Scottish Highlands. While these birds are traditionally summer visitors, typically arriving in March and April and migrating south for the autumn, they are increasingly staying in the UK all year round. It’s estimated that there are around 1,200,000 breeding pairs, with an unknown but growing number in the winter – made complicated by the fact that some UK breeding birds migrate south, but with some birds from mainland Europe now wintering in the UK.

Did you know? Blackcaps are sometimes referred to as northern nightingales because of their lovely song.
