Dunnock

This bird was in the bushes so it's a bit dark.

Nice picture Blue Jay, he does look a little miserable though.

[Blue Jay]

Thanks Maueen.
Yes, I expect it was because well mother was looking over my shoulder that made him look sad

[Chocky]

Oh Ha.
It's not too bad a capture.

To you its a Dunnock to me its a sparrow...Oh! well I shall get there eventually

[Blue Jay]

I'm not that familier with bird name. Chocky is more clued up.
It's the colar apparrenly it is grey/blue and does not have the bklack bib of the house Sparrow.

they used to be referred to as hedge sparrows but arent really sparrows at all. the dunnock is a really striking bird when viewed up close. lots of subtle streaking and blue tinges. but sadly is usually overlooked as a l.b.j. (little brown job) by many birders. nice picture. blue j.
