Hi
I wanted to ask a question for my first message if I can.

I've been delighted to have a pair of blackcaps in my garden all winter. I'd never seen blackcaps before. We are in Hampshire and I don't think they over-winter here very often (but I could be wrong). Their song is beautiful. You can imagine my dismay when I found the male dead. I think it had flown into a window. We immediately bought some birds of prey stickers for all the windows. However, I was wondering what will happen to the female. She sang for her absent partner for a couple of days and now seems to have moved on. Is she likely to find another mate at this stage in the year (the male probably died last Friday)?

Welcome to the forum Maxine,I hope you enjoy it here!
