Male Blackcap warbler i had a winter visitor to my garden i haven't seen these birds this far north in the middle of November Since the 1960s, the number of blackcaps which spend winter in the UK has grown and grown. It's no longer a rare sight to see them in your garden in the middle of winter.

Just what are they doing? Surely blackcaps should be heading for warmer climes? After all, the UK's no place for a warbler in winter...

We've known for a while that the blackcaps that come to Blighty for winter tend to have been hatched or breed in southern Germany. We found that out from ringing, where birds are fitted with a uniquely-numbered, lightweight metal ring which can be read and reported if they're found or caught again.
