Dunnock

Dunnocks are shy little birds, and rarely come near my setup. There are a pair of Dunnocks in our garden and, at best, they usually hop around the base of my setup, making photographing them very difficult.

Again, Dunnocks are quite attractive little birds when you get close to them. Formerly know as Hedge Sparrows, they are not in fact sparrows at all, as you can tell from their pointed beaks, designed for eating insects, rather than the chunky bill of a sparrow which is designed for eating seeds.
