The sun shone all day today, and even though it wasn't very warm, some birds took advantage of the drinking opportunities offered, and some brave birds bathed extensively. The dunnocks, in particular, were very enthusiastic.

the eurasian blackcap, also often known simply as the blackcap, is a member of the warbler family found in much of europe, western asia and northwestern africa, and their preferred habitat is mature deciduous woodland. they feed primarily on insects during the breeding season, then switch to a preference for fruit in late summer. as a warbler, they’re often known for their pleasant, melodious song, although some subspecies have simpler tunes than others. both sexes have a distinctive ‘cap’ of feathers that stand out against their primarily gray plumage; males have black caps, while females have reddish-brown caps.

Pied Flycatcher, backlit hogweed and poplar leaves on lunch time and evening walks at Lakeside Country Park today 8th September 2025

The Pied Flycatcher is the first I've ever seen at Lakeside, a fairly rare bird that I didn't first see in my life until 2020 so this was a big one to turn up on my patch. I was thrilled to see it with Spotted Flycatcher quite a special bird for Lakeside in itself only the fourth time I've seen one at Lakeside, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Goldcrest and Long-tailed Tits in a procession of birds flitting around willow trees including a few migrants with House Martins overhead. Brilliant early autumn birdwatching. Two Kingfishers at lunch time, Ring-necked Parakeet heard, Speckled Wood, Small White, Migrant Hawker, great willowherb, gypsywort and red valerian were other highlights today.
