Dunnock

February 27, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Another common visitor to our garden is the Dunnock. Sometimes known as the Hedge Sparrow, it is not a Sparrow at all. A close inspection reveals that its beak is sharp and pointed, more suited to feeding on insects than the thick stout beak of a Sparrow. Again, Dunnocks are largely ground feeding birds, hopping around the base of the set up, often quite close to the hide.
