Title: A wee burd.
Post by: piscatus absentis on February 10, 2009, 07:01:03 PM
Some debate about this one today.  I think a hen robin but other opinions differ. 

Whit is it?

Dunnock. Hen Robin has a red breast just like the cock, there is no way to tell them apart, wonder how they do it :).

The four Dunnock resident in our garden, two own the front and two the back, don't have the grey heads yet. Doesn't stop the males chasing the Robin round the bushes :)
