Dunnock (Prunella modularis)

We had a great time visiting my dad in Scotland.
And the weather was much better than expected. There was some rain but mostly it was dry and we even had some sunshine. Not bad for the west coast of Scotland at the beginning of November. :-)

I only usually see Dunnocks in the far south of Sweden at Easter or out in the archipelago. Of course in Scotland there were lots. I've never got such good pictures previously though. There were very cooperative.

They're gorgeous wee guys, aren't they Graham! And yeah.... you've a super picture of him.... you'll have to come back again ;)

Glad to hear you had such a good time and weather with your dad. Been pretty good over this side too, but turned pretty cold this last few days.

A real handsome gem and posing like a model (lol). Great eye contact, focus, dof, colors, feather detail, and background. Spectacular Graham!
