Bird ID

[Plainsailing]

Whilst out for a walk at the weekend I snapped this wee bird, when I first took it I just assumed it was a female sparrow.
Whilst sorting my photos out last night, I noticed the beak isn't right for a sparrow, so I had a quick search in my books and the nearest bird I can find is a Dunnock.
Please dont disappiont me as this will be my first postive sighting of a Dunnock......

DUNNOCK, or Hedge Sparrow.

Hi Mike, is a Dunnock and a Hedge Sparrow the same thing?

[astafjevs]

Dunnock is its proper name. Old people () still call it Hedge Sparrow but it's not a sparrow at all.

A nice Dunnock image Paul....as Stuart says they are not sparrows at all but Accentors which have features of sparrows,warblers and small thrushes.
