Yes
Keeps her interested. I would love to see a Male around the place, early days yet I suppose unless she is totaly lost :shrug: Worst case scenario is I could get it on with Artyman and we can make baby`s in the Spring :naughty:

Well you must be excited about the prospect Ken cos you aint said a bloody word about my picture :LOL::LOL:
 
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.

Here are a couple of links:
