A blackcap comes close to me

I've been trying to get reasonable pictures of the two pairs of blackcaps on the garden, but they are have been rather elusive. I see them out of my study window only a few feet away when they gather in a tree between flights to the feeders.

The females with their brown caps are my favourites, but they are the most flighty. Today I was outside and I think I surprised this male blackcap with my presence out of doors. It came to land on the dead rhus tree's old branch but although it stayed only a few seconds I did manage to get a reasonable shot in the approaching twilight.
