This bird is perfectly named , that black cap really stands out here.
He is well placed within the frame and offering such a nice side profile view.

Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural.
I like the way the light touches his feathers , I appreciate his clear eye!
Well composed and presented!

Pat,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this male Blackcap, with his jet black cap. The female has a toffee brown cap.

A very nice shot. I like the light on the mulberry and think it gives his eye a particularly intense look. An excellent composition with great detail in the bird.

a good close up capture of this male blackcap; as indicated by his name, a beautiful black cap on his head; apparently he enjoyed your feeder, unable to take off;

Fred,
Merci beaucoup mille fois for your complementary review on this male Blackcap. They will feed on the Fatballs, Mealworms & seeds scattered on the ground.
They don't as a rule feed with other birds on the feeders.
