Blackcap
Sylvia atricapilla

Field Notes
Description:
This are Old World warblers, very common residents in coastal Croatia. They are small and greyish birds, slightly smaller than sparrow. Male sports black crown, while the female sports a rusty brown one.
Habitat:
Here, seen feasting on exposed insects after the grass and flowers were cut (against my wishes...) on terraces in our garden. Located at outskirts of Dubrovnik, on lower slopes of Srdj mountain, the garden is terraced and covered in Mediterranean fruit trees and spontaneous vegetation. In spring, these terraces are overgrown in beautiful dense carpet of spontaneous Mediterranean herbs and melliferous flowers.
