The shy Dunnock can be seen hopping about under hedges as its other name, ‘Hedge Sparrow’, suggests (though it’s not actually a sparrow). It inhabits gardens, woodlands, hedgerows and parks.

Nice little thing, isn’t he? And sitting on a spike, too! 🙂 🙂
He is indeed, but I had this post scheduled yonks ago.
I used to have loads of these and no house sparrows. Here we have a quarrel of sparrows and no dunnocks. Lovely photo. How did you get him to sit still?
I am a bird whisperer. Didn’t you know that? 😜
Of course you are.
Such a little cutie 🙂
Beautiful pics Jude. What a perfect, tiny little thing. The hopping reminds me of our Cape Robin Chat but this little ball of feathers of yours is much smaller.
