At last I have been waiting nine or ten years to get a black cap in the garden - or anywhere for that matter! Just hoping for a repeat in better light.

A hearty congratulations, Jonathan. I know the excitement you must have felt. This is a beautiful capture under soft light, and fine detail. Like the perch with lichen and such a smooth complimentary BG.
