Ever had one of those days when you spotted something interesting, but it wouldn't sit still, and certainly wasn't going to come out of focus-wrecking cover?

Reading, UK, and I think this is a female Blackcap (which of course doesn't have a black cap, only the male does). The final shot is from significantly later in the walk, so is probably not the same bird - but gives you a sense of what I wanted (still not sharp enough though!).

Definitely a female Blackcap. Also spent hours trying to get a decent photo of one :)

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
