| 17-11-17 Blackcap in Yatton (Higgy) |
As usual Blackcaps have returned to my garden for winter this week, 2 males and 2 females. It's been interesting to watch the males spending the whole week stripping berries from a Cordyline that flowered this year. The Blackcaps have now almost stripped every berry single-handedly and I haven't seen any other species taking the berries. Has anyone heard of Blackcaps eating Cordyline?
