This time it is a Dunnock. Not an unusual bird to see, but another first in our garden.
Not a very spectacular colouring, and it is quite possible there have been dunnocks in the garden before and we did not realise it was not a sparrow, but it has a more pointed beak and the legs are a different colour, with that distinctive grey area around the head.
They used to call them hedge sparrows until they worked out that there's no connection at all to house sparrows. I think they're sweet.
ReplyDeleteHe really is lovely, snafu - good on you to catch him on camera!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I always enjoy seeing how Dunnocks almost tip-toe around the edges of the flower beds as if they're playing 'What time is it Mr Wolf?'.
