Eurasian Blackcap


It’s been a while since I uploaded a bird photo, so, here we go! I saw this bird photo in my library, it’s a Eurasian blackcap bird (Sylvia atricapilla). I already showed you one in the past.

The photo at the top was shot when she observed the raindrops hitting the window. I converted the image to black and white because the original colors were dull due to the bad light.
