After yesterday's dense fog, it was a relief this morning to see some hazy sunshine. A female blackcap flew into the false castor-oil plant, and then onto the spiny angelica trees to feed on a fast-diminishing stock of tiny black fruits. A male blackcap was also present, and these were my first of the winter.
The birds were at the front of the house and I snapped the wary female through the window.
