Second Blackcap of the spring!

After my first spring record of Blackcap on my St. Nicholas Church local patch site on the remarkably early date of 25th February 2026, I had my second spring record this morning.

As I was walking over to my local Asda, I heard a male Blackcap singing briefly from a hedge at the junction of Basildon Road and Upper Mayne.

As with my first record, this was a "heard only" record and I failed to see the bird in the dense vegetation. However, there is plenty of time to actually see my first Blackcap of the year with many birds still yet to arrive for the spring and summer.
