The Blackcap

The Blackcap is a common and widespread sylviid warbler which breeds throughout temperate Europe, western Asia and northwestern Africa, and winters from northwestern Europe south to tropical Africa. Its colour pattern is unique in the genus "Sylvia"; the Blackcap's closest living relative is the Garden Warbler which looks different but has a fairly similar song.
