The Living Forest (592) : Blackcap

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

My shot shows a female with a striking reddish-brown cap (the cap of the male is black, hence its name).

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

Dutch name : Zwartkop
German name : Mönchsgrasmücke
Latin name : Sylvia atricapilla
