Please, too much information :shake: I dont want to picture that. I do like this BC picture though Rich, it really is a cracker and works well with the apple, nice BG too, well done:shrug: Worst case scenario is I could get it on with Artyman and we can make baby`s in the Spring
Well that's probably the strangest proposal I've had, now how much should I charge for stud fees
Thank you GordonLovely shot Rich with a apt title. A nice unusual capture, great pose, good lighting and bird detail , can't fault this at all. Thanks for sharing.
Regards: Gordon

Cracking shot Rich - they do not come much better than this!
If only we could Scott, thanks.i have a few male and no female, i will swap one richard, cracker once again.
Thank you, could you or somebody else tell me what the differences are between the two please.She is probably an over wintering bird and will leave for warmer climates in the spring. I'm pretty sure studies have shown that our summer Blackcaps are different birds from the over wintering ones.
Lovely image too BTW

The summer and winter populations look identical but there is debate on whether or not on a genetic level they are in fact different species. The birds we see in winter have mainly come from Germany where they return to in spring to breed. Our breeding Blackcaps winter in the warmer south. Nature's wierd sometimes.
