It's highly unlikely we will see a barred warbler in our garden again this year; but hope springs eternal in the birder's breast - as Alexander Pope nearly said - and the trees round the edge of the garden will be closely watched from now through September.  This proved useful today as a blackcap was spotted in the willow tree.


I haven't seen many blackcaps this year, and this one was the first of the year in the garden.
