Dunnock

These little guys are often ignored in favour of the more active and colourful birds, and can be confused with sparrows. But they have their own little ways, and a quiet dignity, I think.

Many thanks for all your recent comments - much appreciated.

I will have to look out for these little birds. There are certainly plenty sparrows here.

Nicely caught. In Poland it is on the edge of its range and rarely occurs.

Great detail shown

I've heard if them but don't know that I could differentiate - will have to look out for them. Lovely sharp shot

A nice shot - and it's fascinating how different birds have such different personalities - some of them are so endearing (eg wrens) and some of them are so arrogant and hateful (eg indian mynas!). :)

I can see why they get mistaken for sparrows.

You are very good at identifying birds. I was thinking "rather big sparrow!"
