Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) Male Feeding on a Home-made Fat Treat

Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla), male, feeding on a homemade fat treat.
It was great to see this unusual visitor in the garden sampling the home-made fat treats. This one contains suet, raisins, honey, polenta, garden-friendly bird mix, Pura vegetable fat and peanut butter.
Photo taken in Barnsley, South Yorkshire in late afternoon light in early February.

Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
