Hi ccc,
Blackcaps are mainly summer migrants and probably have been stopping off in your garden to feed on their was south.

but i been geting them in my garden every year around october november and december
Many Blackcaps now overwinter here. By putting out fruit (try putting an apple in the branches of a bush or tree), fat and even seeds, you could tempt a blackcap into your garden. Blackcaps can be quite feisty at bird feeders and tables, so watch out for them chasing away other birds! By providing several sources of food in different bits of your garden, you should be able to avoid too many feathers flying.
ok thankyou i have tryed apples but not many birds see to go to them mybe i put them out to early
I don't usually see the blackcaps until December and they stay around until the spring, there are males and females here.
