hi can you tell me where the red cap bird comes from please?is it a winter vister?
Hi Sammy, the bird you're thinking of maybe a Redpoll or a Linnet, both of which have a small red cap on their heads and are both residents in most of the UK!
Daniel!
Hi Daniel,thanx 4 that.we found out it was a common red poll 2 of them.first time we had them in the garden x
Not sure about your area Sammy but in our area the usual Redpoll is not the Common but the Lesser and the Common is not often seen in local gardens,confusing game this birdin ain't it
birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,just enjoy it while you can.
Unless you're thinking of a female Blackcap (which has a brick red cap). They're officially summer visitors but more are overwintering these days. I've had a pair visiting the garden frequently over the past three weeks or so.

Every day a little more irate about bird of prey persecution, and I have a cat - Got a problem with that?
