Meroman 105 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Definitely a Dunnock, most likely a hen because the cock has more grey about the neck.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meroman 105 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Fully grown bird, they generally start breeding in the next few weeks and are very hard to spot once the breeding season begins... You can be sure that this bird in the photo has a mate around as well.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The song is about the same pitch as a Robin but it is the same tune over and over again, quite nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
