Dunnock ( Prunella Modularis)

Our Garden

Heckenbraunelle
His plumage may seem rather sparrow-like but its old name of Hedge Sparrow was misleading. Its slim build and especially its fine pointed bill prove that this isn't a sparrow at all. Key identification features include rich brown upperparts, neatly streaked with black, bright orange or pinkish legs and, above all, the lead grey colouring of the head and breast.

Great angle to get a good look at this bird. Light and detail are great and help in the identification. V

Lovely Tom - I just once saw a prunella collaris, he had a crash with my window glass...
