I see blackcaps a few times every winter nowadays, an increasingly common overwintering bird, thanks to artificial feeding and berries in gardens. They even manage to overwinter at close to 70 degrees north in Troms\u00f8. The map shows all the January observations of blackcaps in Norway in January. Remember that there is only twilight in Troms\u00f8 at that time of year. There&#8217;s even one observation of a bird sitting in a rowan tree, illuminated by xmas lights, eating the berries and singing on 6th January 2018!<br \/>\nA much better video taken the day after. This bird was catching insects. Right at the end a second female arrives&#8230;I hadn&#8217;t noticed this at the time!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-23795-1\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BC_2females.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BC_2females.mp4\">http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BC_2females.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-23795-2\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blackcap.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blackcap.mp4\">http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blackcap.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23797\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/blackcap_distn_Jan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/blackcap_distn_Jan.jpg 357w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/blackcap_distn_Jan-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A female blackcap (munk) was feeding on rowan berries below the house this morning.
