A blackcap is a small bird with a distinctive black cap on its head. It has a brownish-grey body and white underparts. It is commonly found in wooded areas throughout Europe and parts of Asia. The male blackcap has a distinctive song, which is a series of warbling notes that it sings from high in the trees. It feeds on insects and berries, and is known for its ability to mimic the songs of other birds.

The blackcap is a member of the warbler family (Sylviidae), and is native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is closely related to the garden warbler and the firecrest. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, and is thought to have evolved from a common ancestor with the garden warbler. In the winter, many blackcaps migrate to southern Europe and North Africa to avoid the cold weather.
