Winter Blackcaps are back, brought by the cold north-east wind

Today 27th November 2016 - a fine view of a kingfisher flying low over the Arun towards the bridge and zipping under it, disappearing upstream. It's all changing now that the frosts have started.
The first sighting of a smart female blackcap foraging and flying across into the Hawthorn hedge.
The summer blackcaps have long-since gone south and there have been no sightings of blackcaps until today. 
Some Robin pairs have been seen foraging together rather than fighting or guarding their own territories - does this mean an early spring?
