Hi, I'm a complete novice at this and I've just started to get into birdwatching in our garden in the past few Months. We live in an area which has few trees around but we are planting shrubs and trees into our back garden to encourage birds. I live in Parkstone near Poole. Regards Keith.
 
Hi Keith and a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Staff and Moderators

I'm sure we will enjoy having you here

Hey Keith!

Welcome to Birdforum. I am sure you will find lots to interest you here and hope you enjoy your visits. There should be a good selection of sea birds in your area to watch too.
 
My 1st question, excuse me if they sound a bit daft, very new to this lol! Today I spotted a bird that was the size and shape of a robin. It was a blueish/grey colour all over but lighter underneath, slightly darker on the wings. It had the dark eyes of a robin too. Is this a young robin or something unusual? I'm hoping it comes back so I can get a picture of it. Regards Keith

Hello Keith, and welcome to BirdForum. I'm no good without a pic, so can't help you with the ID. Hopefully you'll be able to get some shots, and then share them with us here.

Welcome Keith

Sounds like a Dunnock (or Hedge Sparrow if you prefer) to me. :t:
