    Default blackcap

    I was pleased to see a pair of blackcaps on and around my peanut feeders but now they have become a bit of a problem. The female has claimed the feeders as her own and will not allow any other birds near them. I have tried moving a feeder to a nearby bush but she just moves between the two feeding points chasing away any other bird. Any sugestions?

    Maybe try putting one feeder out of sight of the other.
    We had the same problem with a Blackcap once - they are very aggressive for their size.

    Have now moved a feeder to the other side of the house and that seems to have got it!
