The Living Forest (526) : Blackcap

The blackcap is a small bird whose preferred habitat is mature deciduous woodland.

My shot shows both sexes, the male on the right with a black coloured cap and the female on the left with a striking reddish-brown cap.

This bird is extensively hunted in Mediterranean countries...!
