A thread for Springwatchers; join in with live commentary/ thoughts during progs or anytime you wish. There's a kettle over there, by the mugs on the hooks and biccies in two of the tins and nut free cake in the third. P.A.'s will be round with bacon sarnies, porridge and fresh fruit pots before the morning prog kicks off, and will open the bar for the night watchers. See you there  |

Black cap, I think, on nest - must be the male as the female has a browner head - or it could be something else..... no sound at the moment
