This is gold 😂😭
Me during most of the year: I like the idea of foraging but i don't fully trust my ID skills beyond a couple basic things so it's more aspirational atm than anything else
Me during blackcap season: i am a child of the forest, i live off the boons of mother earth, i will shank you if you intrude upon my berry picking territory
Blackcap @ SE22 by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Sylvia atricapilla..The blackcap is a grey warbler, easily identified by its distinctive cap. Males have black caps (as the name suggests), while the female’s cap is chestnut brown. Juvenile males also have a brown cap. They have thin, dark-coloured beaks and brownish-grey wings. They are a similar size to robins, measuring around 13cm in length and weighing in at around 21g
