The blackcap is a mainly grey warbler with distinct male and female plumages. The scrub provides a habitat for breeding blackcap, whitethroat and willow-warbler. They have a variety of woodland bird species including blackcap and bullfinch. European examples include blackbird, song thrush, robin or blackcap. Birds such as jay, bullfinch and blackcap are seen in the reserve. Climate change appears to be affecting the migration pattern of the garden warbler and blackcap. The type species is the Eurasian blackcap ("Sylvia atricapilla"). The Wrens were returning from a local dance to the wrennery at HMS "Blackcap". St Francis himself is represented by the blackcap. The bush blackcap ("Lioptilus nigricapillus") is a species of bird in the family Sylviidae. The song is also the topic of Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli's "La Capinera" [The Blackcap]. A former base near Stretton in Cheshire was called HMS "Blackcap". The protozoan "Isospora ashmoonensis" was first identified in a blackcap in Egypt. The last one to score a century on his birthday is blackcap Ross Taylor.
