Sparrow?

[printmeister]

Just got a pic of this in my garden. My wife thought it was a sparrow but on closer inspection, i think not!

It is a dunnock.

Some people call it a hedge sparrow, but its not actually a sparrow at all, it belongs to a family called accentors. (there are no other accentor species in the UK, though).

Nice pic!

Thanks for the reply. I've only just started putting feeders out and it seems to be paying dividends already!

Wondering what one of those was is what got me into birding in the first place.

You will hopefully get hooked.

Thanks PeterB

The house is permanently cold at the moment because I've always got the patio doors slightly open with a camera pointing through the gap!
