Seaton Wetlands Bird ID (1 Viewer)

[WildernessGongs]

Hi guys, disclaimer, I know absolutely NOTHING about birds so this could be the most common bird we have for all I know.

I happened to get a nice photo so I thought I'd look it up and am struggling to get an ID so I ended up here.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Mes

I've never even heard of a Dunnock.

Thank you!

And thank you for the kind words on the photo.

Have a great evening.

I've never even heard of a Dunnock.

It's an old English name which means 'little brown bird' :t:


Also used to be called hedge sparrow in the past.

How adorable. Thanks for the info.

And I actually thought it was a sparrow at first!

I have a lot to learn!
