Hi Kevin
Real treat to hold onto the Blackcap & Brambling for so long. What is the Blackcap eating by the way? fat or apples maybe?

Hope you had better weather than I got in Burnley I had to contend with hail at one point!!

Hi Ste

The blackcap seems to eat crushed up suet pellets, bits of sunflower hearts and mealworm crumble.  Fortunarely I was under cover during the hailstorms today.

cheers Kevin
