An inconspicuous little bird, beautifully vocalizing. The Eurasian blackcap weighs about 20 g, and has a wingspan of around 20 cm. If you stand still, and it sits down somewhere nearby to perform its song, keep your ears open. Maybe it will feel safer and let you then take even more photographs.

Eurasian Blackcap The visit to the ropes course changed Common Redstart’s and Eurasian Blackcap’s galleries. Blackcap wasn’t such an easy object to photograph as the redstart, but she did hunt in the nearby bushes and let me photograph it. It’s a shame that the distance was bigger and the light worse.

Some new pictures of the Blackcap were taken in a rather unusual scenery. Unusual because I was there to take pictures of water rails and I found out that blackcaps appeared there in reeds. Blackcaps were so close that there was no problem with taking pictures.

I have been putting off improving the Eurasian blackcap gallery for years. I knew that the birds were not far from my home and it must have been too close, too easy to rebuild the documentary gallery of the blackcap. And it’s rather good that I didn’t manage to do it earlier. In Spain, I took photos of many blackcaps by chance, and what is more, the pictures were taken from quite a small distance. There’s almost no trace of the old gallery…

I added some photos. The gallery has been rebuilt. One of the photos was taken in my garden! This is my first observation next to my home.

The Eurasian blackcap in Madeira was probably the most heard bird. It was not so easy with taking the photos, but in such a place it was better to focus on Madeiran endemics than on the Eurasian blackcap.

I have been trying to photograph the Garden warbler for years, unsuccessfully, as you can see. This time I tried on the black elderberry. It is said that Garden warblers like to appear in such surroundings at this time of the year. Unfortunately, you have to be extremely lucky because it is a very shy bird. There were plenty of black elderberries in the area, which let me photograph the Garden warbler. Well, the Garden Warbler could not be observed, but in their place many more interesting pictures of the Eurasian blackcap were created. The gallery has been again reconstructed and is now in the news on my website.
