'''Habitat:''' Europe; Breeds in northern and central European and winters in southern Europe and North Africa where the local populations are resident. In recent years, substantial numbers of central European birds have taken to wintering in gardens in southern England. Presumably the ready availability of food, particularly from bird feeders, and the avoidance of migration over the Alps compensate for the sub-optimal climate. Black Caps prefer shady woodlands with ample groundcover. | '''Habitat:''' Europe; Breeds in northern and central European and winters in southern Europe and North Africa where the local populations are resident.
