Although the blackcap ( Sylvia atricapilla<\/em> ) is a very common species of songbird, many garden owners do not consciously notice it. This is probably due to their rather inconspicuous shape and the habit of hiding in thick bushes and leafy trees. In contrast to this covert behavior, however, her singing is anything but subtle. And whoever has internalized the melodic and succinct bird’s voice of the blackcap, will recognize it everywhere in the summer months. The monk is also the most common of our five domestic warblers and – contrary to expectations – a more regular garden visitor than the closely related garden warbler (Sylvia borin<\/em> ). You can find more exciting facts and clear pictures of the blackcap in our profile below.<\/p>\n
