    Hi guys,

    Could you take a look at the attached picture and let me know what type of bird it is? Or is it just a regular sparrow?

    He has just appeared on the scene today and seems to be quite an aggressive little fecker!

    Thanks

    It's a male blackcap. The female will have a rusty brown cap instead of a black one.

    Sound. I read the other thread about Blackcaps and thought that was what it might be but the photo that was in it threw me off.

    The female has actually arrived on the scene now as well. He seems to be fairly abusive to her though :D
